Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)


 Clark Gable and Charles Laughton in Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)

Winner of the Oscar at the 1936 Academy Awards, Mutiny on the Bounty tells the story of first mate Fletcher Christian who leads a revolt against his sadistic commander, Captain Bligh. This classic seafaring adventure is based on the real-life 1789 mutiny.

Actor James Cagney was sailing his boat off of Catalina Island, California, and passed the area where the film's crew was shooting aboard the Bounty replica. Cagney called to director Frank Lloyd, an old friend, and said that he was on vacation and could use a couple of bucks, and asked if Lloyd had any work for him. Lloyd put him into a sailor's uniform, and Cagney spent the rest of the day as an extra playing a sailor aboard the Bounty. Cagney is clearly visible near the beginning of the movie.
