(DVD rewatch)

A wonderous film chock full of adventure, maritime action, national comradery, and romance beautifully portrayed and lead by one of cinemas most gallant protagonists (who doesn't want to be Hornblower?). Peck is fantastic, and Walsh's masterfully light-hearted direction sheds its light across the wide atmosphere, making this classic especially lovable. Brilliant cast, brilliant score, brilliantly simple photography, and an overall brilliant movie. P.S: Mucho Pomposo is right. Haha, what a prick.

Brilliantly cast, filmed and directed. This has everything going for it including the score, cinematography and even model work. A very credible view of life aboard a Napoleonic warship. Foresters writing shows through bringing strong dialogue. Certainly worth watching.
