As an adaptation of the real mutiny, it makes up for minor inaccuracies with scale and scope. As a 1930's seafaring yarn, however, I wish it were a bit more fun.

You get exactly what the title suggests. It does take a long while before the actual mutiny occurs. Personally, I would've abandoned ship long before that. The commanding officer is simply unbearable in his mistreatment and utter disdain for his own crew. When the event does go down, it is very much deserved. Despite being considered an unlawful act, it's a just decision in this particular case. Gable and Laughton command the movie with captivating performances. The entire crew is made up of memorable smaller roles, as well. The stint on the island may have added too much. It's a good watch.

A serviceable retelling of the classic novel, bolstered by commanding performances by Clark Gable and Charles Laughton.
