Also at the 35th #Oscars (April 8, 1963), #MutinyOnTheBounty became the only BP nom that was a remake of a BP winner (Mar 1936).
West Side Story (2021) repeated that feat.
Remembering Marlon Brando, born April 3, 1924 and passed away July 1, 2004.

A re-imagining of #MutinyOnTheBounty starting #AliciaSilverstone as Captain Bligh :
CREWLESS!
A marquee poster featuring a painted interpretation of "The Mutiny on the Bounty" with Lilly Tomlin's visage floating in the middle, The Bounty ship to her left, a boat full of various sailors beneath her, and a movie title to her right that reads "Lilly of the Bounty". Text at the very bottom reads: "Lilly Tomlin, Bette Midler, Charles Grodin, Charles Bronson, Vincent Price, Dame Edna, Jim Beluchi, and Zendaya"
I have no idea why this popped into my head, but I had to get it out there. You're welcome? #parody #LillyTomlin #MutinyOnTheBounty #poster #comedy
Oh sure, it’s all Bligh’s fault.

“Aw shit, those assholes who were with Cook are back” — the Tahitians #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty
Yes, as the final film indicates. Brando intended to portray Fletcher Christian as foppish. During production, he made revisions himself to the script to make the characterizations of Fletcher Christian and Captain Bligh more align with his view. #MutinyontheBounty #TCMParty
I just let out a snort-laugh seeing Brando pop up in his foppish dressing gown and night cap holding a long stemmed pipe. You know he loved that shit #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty
Singing “Mistah Christian” to the tune of Night Ranger’s Sister Christian #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty
True story: Attendees of the New York premiere were mocking Brando's attempt at an English accent so much that Brando walked out of the theatre after only 15 minutes. #MutinyontheBounty #TCMParty
My father, who retired from the U.S. Coast Guard with the rank of commander, was firmly of the opinion that someone who relied on fear to ensure obedience was not a good leader

Oh to have drunken Richard Harris on late night talk shows telling tales of working with Brando #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty
This and the Laughton-Gable version are fine, but the one I know best is 1984’s Bounty with Anthony Hopkins and as yet unproblematic Mel Gibson. If Boomer women like my mom and her cohort hadn’t already got the hots for him in Road Warrior and YoLD, it was an awakening #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty
Brando’s so weird. #MutinyOnTheBounty #TCMParty
Really didn't sell us on Marlon Brando there did he... I feel like I'm mad at him. If I didn't already get so bored at this film that I feel like I could literally die I'd definitely decide not to watch it now. #MutinyOnTheBounty #TCMParty
Two books I recommend about the real experiences of William Bligh, Fletcher Christian, and their legacy are The Bounty by Caroline Alexander and Kathy Marks’ Lost Paradise, about the centuries-long mass sex abuse of girls and women on Pitcairn Island #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty
Overture,
Curtain,

I watched it a couple of weeks ago. It's not that bad. Marlon Brando does a hammy English accent. Trevor Howard was excellent as Captain Bligh. The cinematography and the Tahiti location is spectacular. #TCMParty #MutinyontheBounty
March 5, 1936.
#MutinyOnTheBounty won BP at the 8th #Oscars .
The LAST film to ONLY win BP.
Having watched #MutinyOnTheBounty earlier today, I'm enjoying Laughton's range. #WitnessForTheProsecution #TCMParty

Donald Crisp, much-in-demand character actor and reportedly one of the wealthiest actors in Hollywood, sports a wig and little else in a screengrab from Munity on the Bounty (1935).
The expression of the face balks account,
But the expression of a well-made man appears not only in his face,
It is in his limbs and joints also, it is curiously in the joints of his hips and wrists,
And, if the man is eternal daddy Donald Crisp,
also in his moobies.

The only successful #coup in Australian history was on #ThisDayInHistory in 1808. The #RumRebellion happened because the governor alienated powerful people behind an illicit booze trade. Amusingly, the deposed governor was the same #WilliamBligh toppled in the #MutinyOnTheBounty.
