Captain Horatio Hornblower
Captain Horatio Hornblower ★★★ 1951
A colorful drama about the life and loves of the British sea captain during the Napoleonic wars. Peck is rather out of his element as the courageous, swashbuckling hero (Errol Flynn was originally cast) but there's enough fast-paced derring-do to make this a satisfying saga. Based on the novel by C.S. Forester. 117m/C VHS, DVD . GB Gregory Peck, Virginia Mayo, Robert Beatty, Denis O'Dea, Christopher Lee; D: Raoul Walsh; W: Ivan Goff; C: Guy Green.
