After reading many, many books on the Bounty, and seeing the 1984 version of the movie, I anxiously looked forward to the 1935 academy award-winning version. However, I was a little disappointed. The characters are much more one-dimensional than the 1984 version. Some of the historical facts are totally incorrect, and it didn't seem to have quite the atmosphere of the '84 rendition. Not bad, but a little disappointing after having high hopes. The acting and effects were good for its time, and it goes a bit further into the story than the '84 version, but overall I still prefer seeing Anthony Hopkins' multi-dimensional Cpt. Bligh.
