MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (Dir: Frank Lloyd, 1935).
A lavish Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer adaptation of the bestselling historic novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall.
Mutiny on the Bounty recounts the now famous events of the 1789 mutiny when, on a mission to Tahiti to collect breadfruit, the crew of the HMS Bounty, lead by First Officer Fletcher Christian (Clark Gable) revolt against the tyrannical Captain William Bligh (Charles Laughton). Putting him to sea in a rowboat, the crew pilot the ship to the lush paradise of the Pitcairn Islands.

I think a lot about those guys on the HMS Bounty. They had been ashore on Tahiti living in paradise with the native Tahitians for several months and then suddenly Captain Bligh tells them it's time to go back to stinky old England.
I would have mutinied too. Damn right!!
I did this drawing this morning. Above is the original sketch and below is the final after I cleaned it up. I like both but the initial drawing had more energy. So it goes.
