Trivia:
During the filming of the movie, Marlon Brando's weight fluctuated wildly and he began to regularly split the seat of the pants on his costumes. The costumer solved the problem by putting stretch fabric in Brando's pants.See more »
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Francis Drake is reported as the man who brought potatoes to the Old World, but they were actually carried by the Spanish after the conquest of Peru.See more »

This movie, nominated for Best Picture, was under-rated, probably because of Brando's supposed behavioral problems on the set. They changed directors and I'm amazed this film is as good as it is. Brando is great as a foppish Fletcher Christian until Mutiny time when he becomes manly and wrestles power from Trevor Howard. Great production values, beautiful cinematography and able support from Richard Harris (who wanted to choose off Brando), Trevor Howard, and others.
A 7 out of 10. Best performance = Marlon Brando. To see this on a big screen back then was very impressive. Don't avoid this one because of the bad press. A worthwhile film.
