Movie Info

A glossy, romantic take on the historical relationship between Lord Horatio Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton, this film is highlighted by the scandal of their illicit affair and the elaborate battles on the high seas. Released with a music and sound-effects track and remade, more famously, in 1941 as That Hamilton Woman.

Outdated historical melodrama.

Dennis Schwartz
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Frank Lloyd won the Directing Oscar for this largely silent version of the romance between Lady Hamilton and Lord Nelson; the 1941 vesrion with Olivier and Vivien Leigh is superior.
