In the Wake of the Bounty (1933) was an Australian film adaptation of the novel Mutiny on the Bounty that preceded its more famous Hollywood counterpart by two years and featured the screen debut of Errol Flynn, playing Fletcher Christian. Mayne Lynton portrayed Captain Bligh and Charles Chauvel directed the film. When Flynn became extremely famous for playing seagoing pirates at Warner Bros. a couple of years later and told people about this film, no one believed him, but the movie does exist. Flynn, a Tasmanian, had made the film in the South Pacific as an isolated brush with acting before trying his luck in America.
