Mutiny would be Kaper's last work at the studio and a fitting musical triumph-one of the essential works of the "roadshow" era of the Golden Age, and a classic symphonic score. Although originally assigned to Miklos Rozsa the score was transferred to Bronislau Kaper, who had been at M-G-M so long that he had written the love song for the 1935 production. The film made more news for its behind-the-scenes troubles than on-screen drama: Brando was famously difficult and the production went over-schedule and over-budget, along with Fox's Cleopatra nearly sinking the studio system. The story has been filmed multiple times-most famously by M-G-M in 1935, and more recently in 1984-and the 1962 production was M-G-M's attempt to recapture their earlier success, with Marlon Brando as Christian and Trevor Howard as Bligh. The film's true-life story is known the world over: how First Officer Fletcher Christian led a revolt against the tyrannical Captain William Bligh on the H.M.S. ![]() Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) was a gargantuan roadshow production from the end of the Golden Age of Hollywood.
