The story sails with his ship, the Lydia, through battles with Spain and then France won with wit rather than might. Hornblower still finds time to romance Lady Barbara Wellesley, who roils emotional seas because she's married to his admiral. [More]

Reviews for Captain Horatio Hornblower
Captain Horatio Hornblower showed the 64 year-old director Raoul Walsh still able to conjure up a rousing good action picture, even in color and with a largish budget.
...holds its own against Russell Crowe's CGI expeditions from topsail to yardarm, and this one has more plot.
