CRAP !!
"Mutiny on the Bounty" which starred Clark Gable and Charles Laughton was based on the 1932 novel by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall, which in turn was based on the historical events of 1789.
Gable, who played Fletcher Christian and Laughton as Captain Bligh were both nominated for the "Best Actor" Oscars, as was Franchot Tone for his role of Midshipman Roger Byam. Unfortunately none of them took home the gong. The Academy Awards had no category for "Best Supporting Actor" until the following year.
