Radio review – CP#6 – “Mutiny on the Bounty” (1939) **

Orson Welles tackles the world’s most famous mutiny – partly, one guesses, because it gives him a chance to play Captain Bligh. He’s in fine bombastic form and this is a decent version of the tale – it lacks a bit of zim. The final section has people from Pitcairn Island chat about life on the island.
