### Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)

It starred Charles Laughton and Clark Gable.

The psychological drama, released in 1940, was director Alfred Hitchcock's first American project. It stars Laurence Olivier as de Winter, Joan Fontaine as his second wife, and Judith Anderson as Mrs. Danvers.

### Dances with Wolves-1990

*Dances with Wolves* author Michael Blake undertook writing his most famous novel at the urging of Kevin Costner, who had starred in Blake's *Stacey's Knights. *Blake completed *Dances with Wolves* in 1988. He'd collaborated closely with Costner (who went on to direct and star in the movie) throughout the writing, and during the screenplay adaptation.
