Hornblower - 1998 - 6/10
Very fine adaptations of several Forester novels.
This is the young Hornblower, learning the ropes under Captain Pellew.
One anticipates sea battles, although the intrigue and skirmishes within ranks are revealing.
Perhaps not. There is seldom enough bounty and glory for all.
Unsure how faithful to the source these were.
Production values were very good, scripts intelligent, action exciting.
Should have filmed more installments. Not telling the ROI, however.
