Captain Horatio Hornblower (a.k.a. Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N. in the UK, 'R.N.' standing for 'Royal Navy') is a 1951 British-American naval swashbucklingwar film in Technicolor from Warner Bros., produced by Gerry Mitchell, directed by Raoul Walsh, that stars Gregory Peck, Virginia Mayo, Robert Beatty and Terence Morgan.
The film is based on three of C. S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower novels: The Happy Return (Beat to Quarters in the United States), A Ship of the Line, and Flying Colours. Forester is credited with the screen adaptation; as a result, the film is faithful to his novels and features an occasionally introspective tone unusual for an old-fashioned swashbuckler.

Plot[edit]
In 1807, during the Napoleonic Wars, British Royal Navy Captain Horatio Hornblower (Gregory Peck) commands the 38-gun frigate HMS Lydia on a lengthy secret mission to Central America. He is to provide arms and support to a megalomaniac named Don Julian Alvarado, who is calling himself 'El Supremo' ('The Almighty') (Alec Mango), in his rebellion against Spain, an ally of Britain's enemy France. As Hornblower observes to First Lieutenant Bush (Robert Beatty), 'War breeds strange allies'.
Upon his arrival, Hornblower is told that a larger, much more powerful Spanish warship, the 60-gun Natividad, has been sighted. When it anchors nearby, Hornblower and his crew board and capture it in a surprise night time attack. He then reluctantly hands the ship over to Alvarado to appease the madman, and they go their separate ways. Ross tech vcds driver download.
Later, he encounters a small Spanish vessel and learns that Spain has switched sides, so the Lydia will have to attack the Natividad again. Two passengers transfer to the Lydia (over Hornblower's objections): Lady Barbara Wellesley (Virginia Mayo) and her maid, fleeing a yellow fever epidemic. As Lady Barbara is the (fictitious) sister of the Duke of Wellington (an anachronism, as the title was created in 1814 and he would have been Sir Arthur Wellesley at this time), Hornblower is in no position to refuse her request for passage to England.
Using superior seamanship and masterful tactics, Hornblower sinks the more powerful Natividad, and when the ship's surgeon is killed in the battle, Lady Barbara insists on helping by nursing the wounded. When she later falls gravely ill, Hornblower nurses her back to health. On the voyage back to England, they fall in love. However, when she makes advances (although she is engaged), Hornblower informs her he is married.
After arriving home, Hornblower learns that his wife has died in childbirth, leaving him an infant son. He is given command of the Sutherland, a 74-gunship of the line captured from the French, and is assigned to a squadron commanded by Rear Admiral Leighton (Denis O'Dea), Lady Barbara's new husband. The squadron's mission is to help enforce the British blockade against Napoleonic France.
At a conference on Leighton's flagship, Hornblower learns that four Frenchships of the line have broken the blockade. https://intensivesexy420.weebly.com/james-potter-and-the-crimson-thread-pdf-free-download.html. Leighton assumes they will make for the Mediterranean, but Hornblower suggests that they mean to support Napoleon's campaign on the Iberian Peninsula.
Leighton decides to cover both possibilities by detaching one ship to patrol the French coast. When he learns that Hornblower's Sutherland is best suited for this task, having the shallowest draught, he becomes suspicious that Hornblower is after glory and prize money. Leighton therefore expressly forbids Hornblower from taking any independent action if he sights the French.
Hornblower's French-built ship is subsequently mistaken for a friendly vessel by a small French brig, which flies the enemy's recognition signal for the day. After capturing the vessel, Hornblower learns from interrogating its captain that he was transporting army supplies to the four warships for use in Spain. Rather than return to the squadron, Hornblower sends the brig back with a prize crew and the news.
He enters the enemy harbour where the French ships are anchored and guarded by a well-armed fort. By flying a French flag and the recognition signal and taking advantage of the appearance of his ship's French design, Hornblower fools the garrison into believing that the Sutherland is friendly. His gun crews dismast all four enemy ships before French cannon fire forces the British to abandon the Sutherland. Hornblower scuttles his ship in the channel, bottling up the French ships.
As the rest of the British squadron arrives to complete the job, Hornblower and Bush, accompanied by seaman Quist (James Robertson Justice), are taken by carriage to Paris to be tried for piracy. However, they manage to escape en route and make their way to the port of Nantes. Disguised as Dutch officers, they board the Witch of Endor, a captured British ship. They overpower the skeleton crew, free a working party of British prisoners of war to man her, and sail away to freedom.
Hornblower is hailed as a national hero, and learns that Leighton was killed in the battle. Hornblower returns home to visit his young son and finds Lady Barbara there. The two embrace.

Casting[edit]
Warner Bros. acquired the film rights to the first three Hornblower novels – Beat to Quarters, A Ship of the Line, and Flying Colours – as a star vehicle for Errol Flynn when they were initially published. However, influenced by the financial failure of the 1948adventureromance film, Adventures of Don Juan, growing difficulties with the actor, or his advancing age,[2] Flynn was not cast.

Warner's was already building up Burt Lancaster as their new swashbuckling screen star, but the role of a British sea captain seemed to be outside his range, so Peck was ultimately cast on a loan-out from David O. Selznick, who received screen credit in the opening titles. Virginia Mayo was only cast after a number of high-profile British actresses were not free or not interested. Peck's personal choice was Margaret Leighton.[3]
Production[edit]
Best free video stabilization software for mac. Rosetta stone v5 download torrent. The film was shot at studios inside the United Kingdom, on Mermaid Street in Rye, East Sussex, at HMS Victory and also on location in France.[4][5] To save costs, the Hispaniola set from the 1950Disney film adaptation of Treasure Island was reused as the frigate HMS Lydia. However, the ship was rocked instead of moving the horizon background, which caused many problems because of the combined weight of ship, crew and equipment. The Italian brigantineMarcel B. Surdo represented the Witch of Endor for all at-sea exterior footage.[6] The Marcel B. Surdo would also appear in such seafaring films as The Crimson Pirate, The Master of Ballantrae, and John Paul Jones.[7] The explosive and fire effects were supervised by Cliff Richardson.[8]
Premiere and reception[edit]
The film had its worldwide premiere in the presence of Princess Margaret at the Warner Theatre, Leicester Square, London on 12 April 1951. The premiere was in aid of King George's Fund for Sailors and the 'Foudroyant' appeal (the presently restored frigate renamed HMS Trincomalee afloat in the Historic Quay, Hartlepool, UK.)[9] It was the 9th most popular film at the British box office that year.[10]
The film has been well received by modern critics. The film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives it 7.3 out of 10 and a 100% 'fresh' rating. [11]
Other versions[edit]
Gregory Peck and Virginia Mayo recreated their roles on a one-hour Lux Radio Theater program broadcast on 21 January 1952, which is included as an audio-only feature in the film's DVD release.[12]
Reception[edit]
According to Warner Bros' accounts, the film earned $2,598,000 domestically and $2,735,000 foreign. It was the studio's most expensive film of the year but also their most popular.[1] Free minecraft download free mac.
Home video[edit]
On 6 March 2007 Warner Home Video released the film on DVD in its original aspect ratio of 1:37:1. No Blu ray release has been announced.

Plot Summary
In 1807, Captain Horatio Hornblower leads his ship the HMS Lydia on a perilous voyage around Cape Horn and into the Pacific. The men, even his officers, don't know exactly where he is leading them. England is at war with Napoleon and everyone wonders why they have been sent so far from the action. They eventually arrive on the Pacific coast of Central America where the HMS Lydia has been sent to arm Don Julian Alvarado, who is planning an attack against France's Spanish allies on the North American continent. The hope is that Alvarado's forces will require the French to divert some of their military resources to North American defense in the aid of their Spanish allies. He arrives to learn that a Spanish Galleon is en route and he no sooner captures it and hands it over to Alvarado that he learns the Spanish are now England's allies and he must take it from Alvarado. He also gets a very comely passenger in the form of Lady Barbara Wellesley

Trivia
David Garth worked on screen tests for this project.
Russell Hunter screen-tested for this project.
John Witty screen-tested For Lt. Radot (Patrick Young). Jean Serret screen tested For The French Commandant (Eugene Deckers)
To save costs, the Hispaniola from Treasure Island was reused and renamed Lydia but now the ship was rocked instead of the horizon, this caused many problems due to the combined weight of ship's crew and equipment.
Alexander Davion's role was curtailed because of a schedule clash with another project so his scenes were given to various other actors.
Patric Doonan replaced Raymond Sherry.
Virginia Mayo was only cast after a number of high-profile British actresses were either not available or interested.
James Costa was cast as Hernandez and filmed a number of scenes, but was fired because of his salary demands and because the production team were displeased with his acting.
Feature-film debut of Jack Watson.
Leslie Linder, John Benson, Frank Coburn and Basil Appleby were all suggested for parts.
The rights to the novel were originally acquired by Warners with Errol Flynn in mind, but after the financial failure of The New Adventures of Don Juan and growing difficulties with the actor, he was not cast. Warners was already building up Burt Lancaster as its new swashbuckler, but the role of a British sea captain seemed out of his range, so Gregory Peck was ultimately cast.
Gregory Peck and Virginia Mayo recreated their roles for a 1/21/52 broadcast of radio's 'Lux Theater'.
The movie is based on three 'Hornblower' novels: 'Beat To Quarters', 'Ship Of The Line' and 'Flying Colours.' These were all written in 1938 and were the first books of the series.
Goofs
Anachronisms
Hornblower asks whether Lady Barbara is related to the Duke of Wellington. This is in 1807. Sir Arthur Wellesley was elevated to the Peerage after the Battle of Talavera and to a Dukedom in 1814 after the Army invaded France. In 1807 he was still Sir Arthur. The title of Duke of Wellington did not exist.
At one point Hornblower and his officers give the loyal toast whilst seated. While it is true that the Royal Navy do toast the King or Queen seated, this tradition only dates to the reign of William IV (1830-1837), aka the Sailor King. At the date when this film is set, RN officers would still have got to their feet to toast the King.
At the end of the movie, it is 1807, and the British Navy already has a telegraph system. The first primitive electrical telegraph wasn't even invented until 1816.
Continuity
In the Lydia's battle with the Natividad, the main topgallant staysail (top sail, middle mast) on the Lydia vanishes early in the battle. We can tell because the sail in front of it on the foremast is shot down. Later in the battle, the Natividad fires at the rigging, and then the main topgallant staysail is shot down. Also in the later shot the top sail on the foremast briefly reappears. Then still later, both sails reappear for a shot of the Lydia sailing, and then they disappear again as the Lydia closes in to destroy the Natividad.
During the battle between the Lydia and the Natividad, on the Natividad, the railing between the upper and lower deck, where Alvarado is standing, loses and regains a drapery of ropes as the battle continues.
Share this
During the battle at La Teste Lt Bush is wounded in his left leg. Later, after Hornblower, Quist and Bush escape from their escort, it's his right leg that is injured.
Errors in geography
During the opening narration, a world map is show with 'Ethiopia' in the middle of Africa (approx, where modern Zaire is located). In fact, Ethiopia occupies most of the 'Horn of Africa,' a peninsula on the east coast close -- it is across the Red Sea from the Arabian peninsula in Asia and several hundred miles from the position shown. No Royal Navy map would make such an error.
Factual errors
It's 1807, and when Hornblower invites his officers for dinner before they go to capture the Natividad, they toast the King while sitting down, rather than standing to do so. This privilege was only given to the Royal Navy after 1830 when William IV became King. He had been a Royal Navy officer for many years himself, and knew how cramped things were on a ship, making standing for a toast difficult. (The book makes a point of mentioning the fact that this practice was not allowed.)
After the Natividad is first captured, Hornblower states he was last in his class in sword play. This is incorrect, as midshipmen in the Royal Navy did not attend a school, but rather learned on board their ships. This is also not included in the book.
When the Spanish captain boards the Lydia to announce the alliance, he is attended by only two bosun mates. This would have been a serious breach of etiquette, as he would have rated four side boys in addition to the bosuns.
Set in 1807, the Lieutenants on Hornblower's ship all display the single shoulder epaulet - a rank insignia for Lieutenants which was not adopted by the Royal Navy until after 1812.
Throughout the battle with the Natividad, there is no significant change in the trim or setting of the sails on either ship, despite each making numerous changes in direction. The yards, and so the sails, should have been adjusted with each change of direction. Further, at times it can be seen that the sails of the ships are actually aback (being push backwards against a mast), a highly undesirable situation which would bring the ship to a stop. In at least one scene, this happens while the sails of the other ship, which is on a similar course, are well filled with wind.
During the conference on Rear Admiral Leighton's flagship, there are four officers who are supposedly the captains of the admiral's four ships of the line. However; two wear the single epaulette of a commander or (non-post) captain. No officer with a rank of less than post captain would normally be assigned as the commanding officer of a ship of the line.
Revealing mistakes
During the battle between the Lydia and the Natividad, the model of the Natividad is clearly held down by visible ropes.
When the crew are pulling the ship by rowboat, during the night, the tow ropes are clearly laying slack in the water.
In the closing scene Captain Hornblower orders the sails down in the harbour and the ship begins to move yet there is clearly no wind.
When the ship has gained wind in the Pacific, it is seen moving along in full sail, yet the flag at the stern is trailing behind, showing the ship to be a model being pulled along. If it was truly under sail then the flag would be blowing in the direction of the wind - forward.
As Hornblower's ship, the Sutherland, is entering the French harbor the French flag on the fort is lowered and immediately raised again. However, there is a perceptible pause in the two actions as can be seen by a cloud in the background that suddenly jumps forward.
Share this
When Hornblower's ship, the Sutherland, is firing to 'dismast' the French ships, the resulting damage is shown using closeups of the French decks. In one a huge portion of a mast falls onto the deck. But it bounces lightly, and shows that it has a smooth bottom, revealing that it is a prop.
