The first new Hornblower plays tonight. Three times in a row.<br><br>Hard to believe there isn't more excitement and activity on this club. Where is...
As a lifelong Hornblower fan I too am impressed with Mr Forester's ability to develope the career of our hero while bouncing around cronologically. ...
Last night I saw and recorded Horatio Hornblower's "Mutiny." I thought it was a pretty good show, only it was a bit different from the others. The crewman...
I've got "The Gun", which I understand was also made into a movie. "Death to the French" seems to have been successfully avoiding me, as has "Rifleman Dodd"....
>>>Did they only make 2 new shows?<br><br>What I'd heard was that they were making four new shows, but there was so much pressure that they released ...
You're right about Pellew... he's not in 'Lieutenant Hornblower'. For the most part The Mutiny is pretty faithful to the book except for he actual mutiny ...
If I remember right, Pelew doesn't appear again until Hornblower and the Atropos. And he was only there for a short time as he left the fleet to get his flag....
>>>'Death to the French' and 'Rifleman Dodd' are the same book under their UK and American titles.<br><br>I should have guessed. But now that I know,...
Ha Ha..you guys are way ahead of me with this Hornblower stuff...LOL I have never read any of the books (probably wouldn't understand it if I didn't see it in ...
Another new Hornblower tonight! I can't believe this club is so quiet when so much is happening. <br><br>Here's a question for you: <br><br>if you were aboard ...
Item C was a hanging offense. A proper combination of Items A & B gets the job down without severe punishment or an end of a career.This is an opportunistic ...
Hornblower's sense of loyalty and duty are at odds with one another. He owes loyalty to the captain of course. This is true whether or not he likes the captain...
I was so upset after watching Retribution last night. A flood of tears was involved! Just thinking about Archie being so great and taking the blame and then...
Who pushed the captain?<br><br>In the books, it is never made clear, it is left to the imagination.<br><br>I taped the movie, and I ran back and forth in slow ...
Archie was not in the books, So his death came as a surprise to me. Bush died in Lord Hornblower I believe. A long time from now. Bush is a senior Captain and...
Even as mean as the Captain was, I still don't think I could have pushed him down the hatch. I may have drugged him up really good to make him comotose for a...
I don't believe the Captain was pushed. I remember the Captain saying something like, "where are my loyal men," which made Archie feel the need to come out of...
So....let me get this straight (I didn't see all of the movie, "Retribution", I only saw and hour and a half of it), in the 6th film, Archie dies? And that...
The Spanish prisoners had escaped and were taking over the ship. During the fighting to recapture their own ship, Archie was shot by the Spanish Captain....
But Of course Archie didn't die until he was in prison (after being shot) and just before he died, he somehow made his way into the courtroom and admitted to ...
I don't understand why Horatio seemed to have so much freedom. He was walking in and out of Archie's room all the time. For a man who's in prison he seems to...
>>>I don't understand why Horatio seemed to have so much freedom. He was walking in and out of Archie's room all the time. For a man who's in prison...
Calvary, didn't you read the "Mutiny" and "Retribution" books? If so, do those books mention anything about Archie dying? or taking the blame for Horatio? Do ...
Barbie<br>The story line for both 'Mutiny' and 'Retribution' are contained in the book 'Lieutenant Hornblower' and the 'accident' to Captain Sawyer is never...
I was told that the two new episodes of the Hornblower series were being broadcast in the spring. I was wondering if there has been a date announced of when...
How gorgeous is the actor who portrays Horatio? Ioan, is it? You guys have GOT to tell me about this guy. And I can't get over his accent.<br>I think I'm gonna...
