"The Last Farewell" is a song from 1971 by the British folk singer Roger Whittaker. Whittaker hosted a radio programme in The United Kingdom in 1971, backed by a full orchestra with arrangements by Zack Lawrence. Whittaker is quoted as saying that "one of the ideas I had was to invite listeners to send their poems or lyrics to me and I would make songs out of them. We got a million replies, and I did one each week for 26 weeks."
Ron A. Webster, a silversmith from Birmingham, England, sent Whittaker his poem entitled "The Last Farewell", and this became one of the selections to appear on the radio programme. It was subsequently recorded and featured on Whittaker's 1971 album New World in the Morning (A Special Kind of Man in the US and Canada). Although the song failed to reach the music charts then, it is one of the fewer than forty all-time singles to have sold 10 million (or more) physical copies worldwide.
Mutiny on the Bounty is a 1962 American Technicolor epic historical drama film starring Marlon Brando, Trevor Howard and Richard Harris, based on the novel Mutiny on the Bounty by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall.
Brando married the actress (Tarita Teriipaia), who played Maimiti in the film, in 1962.
Mutiny on the Bounty was filmed in Ultra Panavision 70 with a 2.76:1 aspect ratio.

When I was young, a friends father would play Roger Whittaker records on a very expensive sound system. I was knocked out by the quality of this mans voice, and it's stayed with me for 40 years. I saw Mutiny on the Bounty in my 20's and marvelled at Brando's ease (and apparent fun) in playing an English naval officer in the age of sail. At work 15yrs down the line, I became friends with someone who'd been on the island at the time of filming - she'd only been a girl - but she said Brando's charm was just indescribable.... Thankyou for whoever put this together.

I immigrated to Thailand 6 years ago, I have used the lines, Far away from your land of endless sunshine, To my land full of rainy skies and gales, numerous times to explain to friends and family in the UK why I will never return to England. Unlike the character in this song, I would never leave my wife and this wonderful country to return to a country I no longer view as my home.

Love this song and movie. I remember this song playing on the radio in the 70's and it really paints the lyrical picture well. This song also resonates on a personal level as it depicts a story very much like ones handed-down through my family background. the only difference... the English sailor came back & married my Grandma, settling down on the family Island in the end 👌. Though the song has been covered by other artists, I think Roger Whittaker's voice/version is by far the best. Thanks for posting this video and song 😇👏

A magnificent gem from an incredibly fabulous year! Roger’s only charted U.S. hit. There are countless remakes of this song floating around the Web but the best of them all is this one - the elusive, original 45 version that played on the radio. THANK YOU for it. Released on March 22, 1975 reaching #19 on June 21. It i not from 1971!

Tarita Teriipaia, who played Brando's love interest in Mutiny on the Bounty, became his third wife on August 10, 1962. She was twenty years old, 18 years younger than Brando, who was reportedly delighted by her naïveté. Because Teriipaia was a native French speaker, Brando became fluent in the language and gave numerous interviews in French. Brando and Teriipaia had two children together: Simon Teihotu Brando (born 1963) and Tarita Cheyenne Brando (1970-1995). Brando also adopted Teriipaia's daughter, Maimiti Brando (born 1977) and niece, Raiatua Brando (born 1982). Brando and Teriipaia divorced in 1972. Both never married again.
