Captain Horatio Hornblower RN (1951)
Country: GB
Technical: col 117m
Director: Raoul Walsh
Cast: Gregory Peck, Virginia Mayo, Robert Beatty
Synopsis:
Our hero and his loyal crew do battle with a South American megalomaniac in the Pacific, and the French in the Bay of Biscay.
Review:
Colourful and good-humoured, but a little stiff, British stab at the swashbuckling genre: the ships and battle scenes measure up, but the script is full of maritime cliché. The star plays his character's embarrassed throat-clearing for all it's worth!
