CGiii Comment
After hours of endless research...we, here at CGiii, have concluded that Bligh was a big Mary and had the hots for Fletcher.
Since we all know the story - adding some subtext just makes it a little more interesting.
Not a bad version - but, we all know the ending.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
The familiar story of Lieutenant Bligh, whose cruelty leads to a mutiny on his ship. This version follows both the efforts of Fletcher Christian to get his men beyond the reach of British retribution, and the epic voyage of Lieutenant Bligh to get his loyalists safely to East Timor in a tiny lifeboat.
