This week we have been studying a bit of Australian/New Zealand/British history. One piece of history we studied was how men mutinied against Captain Bligh upon leaving Tahiti.
This 1935 film features Clark Gable as Fletcher Christian. In 1935 it was the "Best Picture Academy Award".
The film brought to life the realities of being a sailor and how the law was enforced at the time. Since they watched this engaging movie, my boys will not forget this part of history.
Warnings: It did not shy away from the violent nature of the career so sensitive viewers should be cautious. There is also a scene where men swim with the natives.
Although the DVD cover was colored, the actual film was black/white.
-Borrowed from the library.
