A Bounty of Byam

In honor of today's Academy Awards celebration, I want to showcase some behind-the-scenes and publicity photos of Franchot at work in Mutiny on the Bounty (1935). Franchot was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for his work as Byam in Mutiny. Mutiny on the Bounty won the Academy Award for Best Picture at the 1936 ceremony. In addition to Franchot, Clark Gable and Charles Laughton were both nominated in the Best Actor category. Other nominations for Mutiny: Frank Lloyd for Best Director, Jules Furthman, Talbot Jennings, and Carey Wilson for Best Screenplay, Margaret Booth for Best Film Editing, and Nat W. Finston and Herbert Stothart for Best Music.

I'll post a film summary and screen captures soon, but for now, enjoy this selection of photos!
