Summary: Captain Horation Hornblower - a great classic movie.
Comment: I think this movie is one of the better swashbuckler - old sailing ship movies out there.

I have read it is losely based on the life of the great British Admiral Nelson.

The movie takes place during the time period when England, France and Spain were all trying to be the "Masters of the Seas".

It has a great combination of action and a little romance for the women also.
The action scenes are very well done even by todays standards. While maybe not as realistic and bloody as "Master and Commander", it is still a fast paced, entertaining action flick.

I have the VHS also and they did an excellent job transferring the movie to the DVD format.

Summary: They don't make movies like this anymore
Comment: My favorite Genre is high seas adventures, pirate movies and naval warfare movies. If you like tall ships, cannon broadsides and these type of films this one will satisfy you. The film seems fairly historically accurate with a few flaws...but it's a movie not a history book. Gregory Peck is great. The costumes and ships are great. I especially liked how the Captain's uniform at times is worn and tattered...nice effect. I judge all these movies not on sword fighting, but ship to ship fighting. This movie, Damn the Defiant, The Sea Hawk and Master and Commander are the best in this regard. I just ordered the Horatio Hornblower 8 DVD A & E / BBC series. Please email me if I am missing another flick that fits this bill.

Summary: Captain Horatio Hornblower
Comment: An excellent movie although I have not seen one with Gregory Peck that was bad. I enjoy the vivid colors of the 1950's - 60's movies.
If you like naval stories you will enjoy this one.

Summary: Half of a Great Film
Comment: The movie's screenplay consists of two separate stories. The problem is that the first story is so entertaining, in the cat-and-mouse theme, that the second story is bland by comparison. Otherwise, the acting and production values throughout make this very enjoyable light fare.
