Interesting, yes. Fine performances. Good direction from Lewis Gilbert. However, pretty atrocious remastering. Full of aritifact and dust specks.

Alec Guinness gives a great performance as an humanitarian captain during a very interesting period of history. This 1962 movie shows undoubtedly a good achievement in visuals, even according to present standards, despite the deficiency (or absence) of FX.

An excellent film about the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, which shows great details of life on an 18th century war ship. This war drama has great acting by all, particularly Alec Guinness and Dirk Bogarde, with fine dialog and well-staged naval battles. The 2.35:1 widescreen DVD (CinemaScope) is enhanced for 16:9 TVs and of high quality.

I purchased this on a friends recommendation who seemed to have similiar likes in other movies. Alec Guinnes is great. My wife and I were expecting something along the lines of Horatio HornBlower. Horatio it wasn't.
Ok to watch once however it will gather some dust in our library before its next viewing.

This salty, sadly overlooked British entry fires on all cylinders. Lewis Gilbert (who'd go on to direct the original "Alfie" and three Bond entries) displays a sure hand here, with two first-class actors (Guinness and a deliciously hateful Bogarde) crossing verbal swords with gusto, while the always reliable Anthony Quayle organizes the men below. The denouement is worth waiting for, with stunning color footage recreating these beautiful ships in full battle mode. As period war movies go, you'll find this "Defiant" ship-shape indeed.
