Mutiny on the Bounty (1962)

The movie that marooned Marlon Brando's career and signalled the start of his 'lean period', 1962's Mutiny on the Bounty.

We talk through the differences between the real history and what the film portrays plus we discuss Marlon Brando's legendary on-set antics, what life was actually like in the 18th century navy and whether the ending of the movie does a disservice to the spirit of the history.

Do you know whether Marlon Brando actually did split the seat on 52 pairs of pants during the shooting of the film, or you'd just like to get in touch? Drop us a line at historicalmoviespodcast@gmail.com
