Mutiny on the Bounty" was nominated for eight Academy Awards for 1935, but won only one of them: Best Picture. It also boasted three actors nominated for the leading role Oscar from the same picture: Clark Gable, Charles Laughton and Franchot Tone. The story of the Bounty is so famous and has taken so many forms, it's difficult now to say where truth ends and legend takes up the thread. The actual mutiny took place in 1789, and there were numerous contemporaneous accounts. Lord Byron wrote a poem about it in 1823. Sir John Barrow wrote an 1831 book that made the event famous. Jules Verne wrote his own book in 1879.
