November 8, 1962 –
Lewis Milestone’s second major Hollywood telling of the Mutiny on the Bounty, starring Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard and Richard Harris, debuted on this date.
Richard Harris agreed to take a third-billed role in this film purely to work with Marlon Brando. However, Brando’s on-set behavior soured his adoration of the star. Harris would later describe the production as “nightmarish” and “a total fucking disaster“.
