MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY MISSING FOOTAGE RESTORED
Arriving with virtually no fanfare late last year, Warner's
long-awaited DVD release of MGM's 1962 epic remake of Mutiny on the Bounty was included in a
boxed set of Marlon Brando films. The double-disc set includes a wealth of vintage production
featurettes, but the real treat is the restoration of the missing prologue and epilogue. If you didn't
know about these, you're not alone. Lavish sums were spent to film both sequences only to have them cut
immediatley prior to the film's roadshow releases - probably due to factors of running time. The
missing scenes are not edited into the feature, but are presented as stand-alone extras.
