It's been a while since I last saw this, but when I watched it just now, it totally took me elsewhere, like a lovely dream. The music, the slides, effects, the editing, absoltely perfect.
Thank you for the kind comments Sunstrobe... I spent 5 years in the US Air Force from Dec 71-Dec76. This was during the Vietnam War. I had the privilage to serve in a combat exercise in Florida once under the joint command of several officers including Squadron Leader Bass of the Royal Air Force. Britan has some very intelligent and capable leaders to this very day. These men never ask for respect,but conduct themselves in a manner that leaves no other option but to respect them.
I do like the Hornblower series, I also like the Sharpe series. I served in the Royal Navy from Nov 1969 to Feb 1994. I worked in close contact with many Navies during my time, but may I say that the United States Navy have a place in my heart. God bless you all!
I love the ships and the characters in these movies, but the screenwriters massacred Forester's stories... anybody else bothered by this, or do you just like the movies for themselves? I guess I have to take them that way. 8) KVN
Since there are eight books, there are eight miniseries, each one has four episodes or something =) I have the complete box set :D All miniseries, from Midshipman Hornblower (The Even Chance) to the last "DUTY" :D
I want it so bad, too - my sister and I used to be so obsessed with the film. But the soundtrack went "out of print" not long after the film - I haven't been able to find it online for less that seventy dollars. Which is a crying shame.
Hey, where'd you get the music. I know it's from Black Beauty - love the film, recognized it immediately - but do you have the album? and where'd you get it?
A friend gave it to me, she had the album and she let me choose which tune I wanted. I wanted the whole lot but had to settle with this one. I hope to buy the album one day. :-) Thanks for your reply.
You just got me into tears :,) Suchs a beatiful music and video, Thanks mate, Hornblower is my favortie TV series, even at im not from Britain.

from Cologne-Germany. I love both series, Horatio Hornblower and Richard Sharpe and his "Rifles"
In my Heart: Lord Hornblower, and the German submarine flotillas, wo then had to shout "morituri te sulutant" when they left harbour ...
Kind regards!
