Description: | This is a companion tin to the 'My Fair Lady' tin of 1960, though in this case the subject is a film rather than a stage production. The first film version of the 'Mutiny on the Bounty' starred Clark Gable and Charles Laughton. The 1962 remake in 72mm panavision had Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard in the lead roles. Despite a huge budget and widespread publicity (including, among other things, this tin) it was a box-office flop. Though it got seven Oscar nominations, it received none. Brando's performance (supposedly for a fee of $6 million) is generally regarded as a ludicrous self-indulgence. MGM faced near ruin, which almost came about when the studio only recouped $9,800,000 in its initial release. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | palm tree flag environment natural science transport ship narrative beach boat | Temporal: | start=1962-01-01; end=1963-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Not known | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
