By HD (148 reviews) from West Midlands , 13 Aug 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
For those who have seen and enjoyed ?Master and Commander? or ?Mutiny on the Bounty? here?s another movie on the same theme that?s right up your street. This is a really engrossing story rooted in history with bold characters and lots of naval action; just a rip-snorting good adventure story of a very high calibre. Guinness is up to his usual high standard, abetted by fine work from Bogarde and Quayle. The tension of the dramatic line never lets up until the heroic conclusion. Nigel Stock, Peter Gill and Maurice Denham turned in other notable performances.- Was this review helpful to you?

Great Classic
By Jonny Hoy from Causeway Coast , 01 Nov 2005If you like nautical stories with a mix of duty, manners, discipline and antagonistic characters...well here you go. Guinness is great as the understated English naval officer - commanding power rather than weilding it and Bogarde the nastier villainous officer who gets his comuppence. A good way to while away a sunday afternoon.- Was this review helpful to you?
