Mutiny on the Bounty premiered (the Brando outrageous accent version)

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“.
