BURBANK, Calif., July 19, 2010 – Winner of the Academy Award® for

adventure tale told on the high seas, sails across the screen for
its Blu-ray debut in a beautiful Blu-ray Book on November 16.

Directed by Frank Lloyd, winner of two Academy Awards® for Best
Director for
Cavalcade (1933) and
The Divine Lady
(1930), MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY stars the “King of Hollywood,” Clark
Gable, ranked # 7 among the 50 Greatest American Screen Legends by
The American Film Institute (1999). Adapted from the novel by
Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY has
been especially remastered in honor of its 75th anniversary, having
undergone a full photochemical restoration sourced from the film
long-thought-lost, and recently rediscovered original nitrate
camera negative. The film's audio track has also been restored for
this presentation, resulting in a stellar opportunity to experience
this classic as never before due to the unparalleled home-theater
quality that only Blu-ray can deliver.
MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1935) will also be available for permanent
download and digital rental through iTunes, Amazon Video On Demand,
PlayStation Store and Xbox LIVE Zune Video Marketplace.
Synopsis:
HMS Bounty sails for Tahiti by way of Cape Horn…and into movie
lore. Grandly filmed, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY captured the 1935
Academy Award® for Best Picture and eight nominations total.
Charles Laughton portrays Captain Bligh, a seafaring monster ruling
with the law of fear. Clark Gable is first officer Fletcher
Christian, whose will to obey erodes under Bligh’s tyranny. And
Franchot Tone plays idealistic midshipman Byam, torn by his
allegiance to both. That all three portrayals are vividly memorable
is accented by the fact that for the only time in Oscar® history,
three stars from the same film were Best Actor nominees.
