Horatio Hornblower - The New Adventures (DVD, 2003, 2-Disc Set)

I love the character development of Horatio Hornblower. He earns the respect of all who come to know him. The stories are filled with action and emotional background. Some scenes are a little violent but then again it is a war movie. I saw this on A&E on tv and fell in love with the movie. Figured I had to have it in my DVD collection.

MR. Forester, died in 1966. All of his writtings about his creation HORNBLOWER encluding part of his last novel
has been published. It was published under the title "HORNBLOWER DURING THE CRISIS"
This publication also encludes two previously HORNBLOWER stories, "HORNBLOWER'S
TEMPTATION" and "THE LAST ENCOUNTER".
In C.S. Forester's publication "THE HORNBLOWER COMPANION", the author speaks of
his intention to fill in a gap in his HORNBLOWER series. He passed away before
this was finished.
I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING TITLED "THE NEW ADVENTURES" speaking of
HORATIO HORNBLOWER! There should be a disclaimer in the description.

I liked getting these two extra movies. They are the 7th and 8th in a series. Buy the whole lot of them! mh

Great look at history. Heartwarming. Romantic even though it is a bit cutthroat. War and all you'll get that. Great action, friendships, loyalty, treachery, perseverence . . .

So much entertainment...so little $$$. These are easily some of the best movies ever if you like the old era sailor movies.We seen them when they 1st came out and fell in love.There really isn't anything bad to say about these as the music,acting,the way it is shot are all top notch.Nothing B about any of them.I heard Ioan Gruffudd(Horatio Hornblower)is trying to buy the rights to the movies and plans to make some for the big screen.I could only hope...
If you do decide to buy these you won't be disappointed...
