Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category History & The Movies) for Friday, November 1, 2024 (Season 41, Game 40):

This 1935 Best Picture Oscar winner tells of a 1789 event near the isolated Pacific volcano of Tofua

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Sam Cameron, a finance manager from Fargo, North Dakota

Julie Phillips, an attorney from Alexandria, Virginia

Greg Jolin, a system specialist & accountant from Raymond, New Hampshire (1-day total: $24,001)

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Picking up nearly half of the correct responses in yesterday’s game, Greg Jolin took a strong first victory. Today, he looks to win his second game against Julie Phillips and Sam Cameron.

You may have heard about the lawsuit yesterday where Sony Pictures is suing CBS Television Distribution over its syndication contract. As of the time of this writing, I have partially read the complaint and found it eye-opening; if the allegations contained within are true, this is the culmination of a number of actions over a number of years and I have to say that I am disappointed that it has reached this point.

Correct response: What is Mutiny on the Bounty?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

Mutiny on the Bounty is a famous 1935 film, starring Clark Gable as Fletcher Christian, dramatizing the famous 1789 mutiny on the HMS Bounty of Christian seizing control of the ship from captain William Bligh. Christian and the mutineers were upset at their treatment by Bligh, took over the ship near Tofua, cast Bligh and his loyalists onto a boat, and set sail for Tahiti. Eventually, Fletcher Christian ended up on Pitcairn Island after having abducted a number of Tahitians.

I’d also like to talk about an important distinction today, and kudos to the writing staff for its correct writing today: Being that the film was released in 1935, it is correctly considered “this 1935 Best Picture Oscar winner”. It is not “this 1936 Best Picture Oscar winner” due to the award being given in 1936; anyone contending this online later today would be 100% incorrect and needs to be informed as such before the show receives undue criticism over the writing of this clue. Any confusion regarding that wording would be 100% the fault of the viewer and not the show. Additionally, anyone making a comment who clearly has not read this paragraph will not have their comment approved.
