Captain Horatio Hornblower (Warner 1951, Gregory Peck, Virginia Mayo)

Published

on


Captain Horatio Hornblower was a straightforward naval adventure, based on three novels by C. S. Forester, about the heroic 19th-century British seafarer. 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.

Though under contract to David O. Selznick when Captain Horatio Hornblower was produced, Gregory Peck appeared in this film; he was one of a group of actors leased to Warners for $1.5 million.
