Mutiny on the Bounty (1962)
1 continuity mistake
Directed by: Carol Reed, Lewis Milestone
Starring: Richard Harris, Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard, Hugh Griffith
Factual error: In the film, the mutiny occurs during the day, when Bligh allows a crewman to die of thirst. The actual mutiny occurred in the middle of the night, when Christian and several followers entered Bligh's cabin and awakened him.
Fletcher Christian: There'll be no more killing aboard this ship, not even Captain Bligh.
Captain Bligh: If that's an attempt to earn clemency, I spit on it.
Trivia: When Bligh tells Christian not to touch the chief's daughter, the chief is offended. Once Bligh has been told of this - Christian knows; it was him who said to the translator, "You better tell the Captain himself; I don't think he'd believe me" - he sends for Christian, who feigns complete ignorance and prolongs the discussion, until Bligh has to order Christian to have sex with the girl. Christian says "Well, I'll do my best, " and leaves with a smile on his face. Maimiti accompanied Christian to Pitcairn, in real life, and had 3 children with him until he died at a very young age of 29. And, in real life, Brando and the actress who played Maimiti were married for 10 years and had 4 children together.
