Wrong one, the original is better. Charles Laughton was the perfect Captain Bligh.

Yes, Clark Gable was also better. Brando seems to mumble through most of his lines.

Is that the 1930s version?

‘Charles Laughton was the perfect Captain Bligh.’

disagree; Howard was more true to life...Laughton stomped around with a sour look the entire time, but Howard could look completely placid and undisturbed and in an instant take the cruelest action, with the smallest of sardonic satisfaction...Brando, however, was wrong for Fletcher Christian, Mel Gibson was better, though not by much; needed someone who could combined a conflicted mind with sufficient charisma to cause men to follow him...

I figured that’s the one Trump likes, too.

I was just going to say the same thing - I love Charles Laughton in the original.
