In the Wake of the Bounty
In the Wake of the Bounty( 1933) is an Australian film directed by Charles Chauvel about the 1789 Mutiny on the Bounty.

John Fryer (Royal Navy officer)
John Fryer( 15 August 1753 – 26 May 1817) was the sailing master on HMAV" Bounty", a British vessel made famous by the Mutiny on the" Bounty".
He was a strong critic of both Lieutenant William Bligh and mutiny leader Fletcher Christian, at one time even accusing Bligh of favouring Christian.
Despite his anger at Bligh, he did not support the mutiny.
Fryer was born at Wells- next- the- Sea, Norfolk.
After his naval service, he returned to Wells, and his grave in the churchyard is now clearly identified.
In 1787, Fryer was appointed master of HMAV" Bounty", with Fletcher Christian serving as master's mate.
On 10 January 1788, Bligh put his crew on three watches, giving one of them to Christian, and on 2 March 1788 promoted Christian to acting lieutenant.
Some have speculated that this was the source of the ill- will that later developed between Fryer and Bligh.
However, as a Master, Fryer would never have been promoted to lieutenant at sea.
Indeed, he never did become a lieutenant.
Fryer remained loyal, and accompanied Bligh in reaching Timor.
Bligh's account of the mutiny vilified Fryer, but Fryer gave fair evidence at Bligh's court-martial.
Edward Christian, Fletcher's brother, was assisted by Fryer in publishing a counterweight to Bligh's version.
Fryer never received promotion, but served in the Royal Navy until 1812.
Fryer has been portrayed by three actors in various film portrayals of the mutiny on the" Bounty".
In the 1935 film, he was played by DeWitt Jennings, while Eddie Byrne portrayed him in the 1962 version of" Mutiny on the Bounty".
Daniel Day- Lewis portrayed him in the 1984 film" The Bounty".
A biography of Fryer was edited by Owen Rutter in 1939:" John Fryer of the Bounty"( Golden Cockerel Press).

Mutiny on the Bounty (1962 film)
Mutiny on the Bounty is a 1962 American Technicolor epic historical drama film released by Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer and starring Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard and Richard Harris, based on the novel" Mutiny on the Bounty" by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall.
The film retells the 1789 real- life mutiny aboard HMAV" Bounty" led by Fletcher Christian against the ship's captain, William Bligh.
It is the second American film to be made from the novel, the first being" Mutiny on the Bounty"( 1935), also produced by MGM.
The film was directed by Lewis Milestone, who replaced Carol Reed early in the production schedule, and it turned out to be Milestone's final film.
The screenplay was written by Charles Lederer( with uncredited input from Eric Ambler, William L. Driscoll, Borden Chase, John Gay and Ben Hecht).
The score was composed by Bronisław Kaper.
" Mutiny on the Bounty" was filmed in the Ultra Panavision 70 widescreen process, the first motion picture so credited.
It was partly shot on location in the South Pacific.
Behind the scenes, Marlon Brando effectively took over directing duties himself and caused it to become far behind schedule and over budget — resulting in director Carol Reed pulling out of the project and being replaced by Lewis Milestone who is credited as director of the picture.
The film was panned, and was considered a box office bomb, having lost over$ 6 million.
A replica of" Bounty" was constructed for the film.
Fifty years after the release of the film, the vessel sank in Hurricane Sandy with loss of life.
Mutiny on the Bounty (1935 film)
Mutiny on the Bounty is a 1935 Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer drama film directed by Frank Lloyd and starring Charles Laughton and Clark Gable, based on the Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall novel" Mutiny on the Bounty".
The film was one of MGM's biggest hits of the 1930s.
In spite of some historical inaccuracies, film critics consider this adaptation to be the best cinematic work inspired by the mutiny.
