Great film a must for lovers of Naval stories
I bought this film because I like genre and am a fan of Gregory Peck's work. But as My late wifeb and have read the books and saw all the tv films and own them I thought this would enhance my collection. there is nothing I dislike about it.

Story line is by C.S. Forester, with many twists and turns. Lots of subtle humor as story progresses. Excellent sea shots and ship battles. DVD has many extra features of interest.

I had this film for years as a ragged vhs, and awaited itsw issue as a DVD. I think it is one of the best swashbucklers, well produced, photographed, and acted. The quality of the DVD did not disappoint. Thanks to all who had a part in its reissue.

Captain Horatio Hornblower (1951) is an extremely likable, but slightly musty, rendering in Technicolor film of the hero of C.S. Forester's great series of novels about the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars (late 18th-early 19th century). For me, its best side was easily its detailed, cast-of-thousands-style depictions of sea battles, with pounding broadsides and true-to-life portrayals of the hazards of naval warfare. Luckless sailors are crushed beneath cannon or knocked senseless by falling masts and spars. I found myself both taken aback by the chaos and also impressed by the self...
