[@barbaraflores3506]

I loved learning about, the rich history, of the island. Along with watching Errol Flynn. Thank you for sharing this!

This was great to watch Tahiti Pitcairn its people 1932 Untouched by large scale industrial development Fantastic footage Thank you!

[@steveanglestone5861]

Humble beginnings for Errol Flynn, a hint of the direction his remarkable life would take him...I have waited many years to view Errol's cinematic introduction ..thank you for this posting Steve Anglestone

[@bmjpdx9222]

Much of the footage is virtually a travelogue of 1930s Tahiti; highly recommended as such.

[@gypsylily2949]

The Errol Flynn movie is just a lead up to a Tahiti travel promo! Tricky!

[@hamburgareable]

Errol Flynn was terrific in this gem!

[@MrJameseo]

Lol..

[@DJVMFVME]

A gem. Ty.

[@benjaminshiels1824]

And here I am thinking they only made 3 movie's about my great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather. Fascinating, thank you! 👍

?????

[@carltonreese4854]

I am sure you are referring to the movies made in 1935, 1962 and 1984. Did you know, though, there was also a silent movie about the mutiny made in 1916? So make that five.

[@chynnadoll3277]

Who was your gr7-grandfather, Capt. Bligh or Fletcher Christian?

[@hilarylawrence4588]

Yes, my question! I bet it's Bligh!

[@thejamunit2835]

More likely Fletcher Christian!​@hilarylawrence4588

[@paulmaryon9088]

The Pitcairns have a dark secret history, with only about 50 residents today everybody is rather to closely related!! Interesting and fairly factual video, thank you

[@SrAJones-ns7sx]

I really enjoyed this the history and footage are awesome glad it was preserved. Flynn is stiff but hey not too bad to look at in that shoddy wig 🙄😀😅

From this to Robin Hood in a few short years. Bette Davis said he couldn't act if she saw this she was right . But while never the greatest actor he had great film presence once he learnt his trade . One always feels he could have gone far if it hadn't been for his many vices . Robin hood is one of the greatest film ever made in my humble opinion. Errol never hid what he was . An old fashion adventurer and scoundrel to put it mildly.. boy he was beautiful beyond handsome before drugs and booze destroyed his looks . There was only one Errol Flynn and he knew it . RIP Errol

And doesn't get the credit for being a great actor.

[@heathergibson2108]

@@bak-mariterry5180 agreed. His personal life his pasona became more important to the media . Even betty Davis said in later years that she was wrong.. Errol was great in every movie he did but I think he became bored with it all .

[@bak-mariterry5180]

@@heathergibson2108 His last movie, The Sun also Rises (?) was not a good movie. Hollywood maybe found out he was not bankable anymore .

[@heathergibson2108]

@@bak-mariterry5180 ok I'll agree on that . It was awful. Hollywood made him then had no need for him anymore, money is the name of the game in Hollywood . Errol was his own worst enemy too. But i love his movies especially him and Olivia de Havilland.

[@bmjpdx9222]

@@bak-mariterry5180 Errol Flynn was in three movies after "The Sun Also Rises" (1957). His last, "Cuban Rebel Girls" (1959), is bizarre -- he plays himself being a Hearst news correspondent sympathetic towards Fidel Castro during the Cuban Revolution. That seems quite odd; Flynn's lifestyle was more akin to the hedonism that was rampant under Batista. His costar was his 17-year-old girlfriend of the time, Beverly Aadland.

[@alexanderv9357]

Супер, не ожидал, что был фильм 1933 года, последующие давно смотрел.

[@martindoherty6855]

In his autobiography, Flynn stated that the film was a ruse to enable US Govt agents to film around the mouth of the Sepik River in New Guinea. Apparently they were wary of Japan's ambitions in the area. Of course just a few years later these fears came to fruition. Flynn was a boat owner and both familiar with the area and the locals in his then attempts to mine gold. He was ideal to act as a guide as well as lead part in the film.

[@Firebrand55]

Ok, it cinematically creaks......but don't judge by today's standards; in 1933 this was edge-of-the-seat stuff!

[@bmjpdx9222]

By saying it creaks, you _did_ judge it by today's standards.

[@gypsylily2949]

This was a travel promo. Not a regular movie..

[@imochiexe5056]

Very interesting interpretation of history entwined with an early version of a travelog. Why name the island Pitcairn, i.e., what is significance/connection, if any?

[@chrismc410]

Islands are often named after their discoverers, in this case a 15 year old Midshipman Robert Pitcairn of HMS Swallow in 1767

[@jurjyzaidan5540]

1933 and scenes of topless ladies !?? 😮 This isn't even pre-code Hollywood...But Down Under filmmaking ...lol

[@DSheartlady]

was wondering if i would ever see this one not a common film by the way errol was related to mr christian😊😊

[@chynnadoll3277]

Really? That is very interesting.

[@davidprocter3578]

About as factual as all the other films concerning the voyage of the Bounty..

[@bmjpdx9222]

The 1935 and 1962 versions (at least) of "Mutiny on the Bounty" were based on the novel "Mutiny on the Bounty" by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall. Those authors did not present the novel as being a non-fictional account.

[@colindenronden4082]

@@bmjpdx9222there were claims that someone kept a diary, but seeing as how the mutineers were placed in a cage on the deck of the Pandora in which four of them were drowned when it ran aground on the Great Barrier Reef, how could such a diary be saved? This fake diary is what the novels were based on. Christian's brother was a law professor in England who had the political pull to run a campaign to discredit Bligh. He harked back to when Captain Cook was killed, when Bligh abused the other officers for allowing it to happen, thereby earning their enmity and making his first enemies. Bligh was a very capable navigator, taking 44 men on a boat with only seven inches freeboard distance to the water, nearly 4000 miles to safety. Who could ever do that feat? The trouble-maker who started it all was a guy called Purcell. He could not be flogged because under navy rules any man of gentleman class or above was immune. This caused resentment amongst the common seamen. Christian nearly ran the Bounty aground which, being thousands of miles from home could have doomed them all. This caused Bligh to verbally abuse him (he was notorious for swearing) and Christian, who used to be Bligh's friend before this, then harboured resentment towards Bligh. When Bligh was NSW Governor he suffered another mutiny, and his enemies always dragged up his past to justify their treachery. Bligh was more sinned against than sinning.

Actors who had been in theatre before film work always over acted and over gestured their scenes just like on stage. They are used to playing to the last row and had to get use to a Lense right in their face.

[@jamesanonymous2343]

>>>>>>> AH YES !,,,,,,,,,, PRETTY PRIMATIVE STUFF,,,,,,,,,EH LADS !

[@larryboyd7979]

I've heard the Version with Clark Gable is the definitive version.

[@keithwilliams1243]

Seven minutes in and this is without a doubt the worst acting I have ever seen.

[@chynnadoll3277]

Lol, I know, but talkies had only been around for a few years, and these actors were still getting used to it. Many of them had also been trained on the stage, which accounts for the over-the-top acting.

[@slaakattak]

Thats part of the fun!
