My favorite of the Hornblower films starring Ioan Gruffudd. Absolutely authentic and riveting. Another step in the growth of the young and intrepid British seaman.
Chris Barnes, Colin MacLachlan, Denis Lawson
While Lt. Hornblower studies for his promotion exam, he is distracted by the serious supply problems that face his crew.

All of the A&E Hornblower adaptations are excellent. They aren't 100% identical to the books, but they capture the spirit quite well, and the production quality is high. The actors are also brilliant, and portray favorite characters quite well.
