Plot:
Sir William Hamilton, a widower of mature years, is British ambassador to the Court of Naples. Emma who comes for a visit with her mother wouldn't cut the grade with London society but she gets along ...( read more

Another great film for Vivien Leigh's resume. I'm tempted to say she looks even better here than she did in Gone With The Wind. Her performance was equally good, though the love scenes may not count to that performance, since she was with the man she truely loved and her new husband, Larry Olivier.
This was Viv's show all the way, even Larry couldn't compete with her on the screen, something he actually admitted when it was all over. In fact she outshined him so much he decided not to make anymore films with her. They worked together on the stage alot, but never in pictures again.
Laurence was not slouch, he's not considered one of the greatest actors of all time for nothing, But all eyes were on his wife's performance in this one, he really had to fight her presence to be noticed.
British folks should know this story pretty well, considering it was one of the biggest scandals of its day, the Admiral Nelson/Lady Hamilton affair was big news back then. Its a pretty sad story, especially when you know what happened to Nelson, you can't help but feel sorry for Lady Hamilton. A great film with lots of drama and romance, should not be missed if you get the chance to see it
Winston Churchill's favourite movie. Is it because of the mithification of Lord Nelson (Lawrence Oliver) or the gorgeous Vivien Leigh? I guess we never now.
Despite the curiosity it`s just an average war time piece romantic drama.
Could Vivien Leigh be more beautiful, Laurence Olivier more dashing?? Lovely period piece, with great costumes (check out the gorgeous Grecian-inspired peignoir in the first bedroom scene) and strong supporting cast.
Glorious, beautiful, and amazing Vivien Leigh! In one of her finest performances, the gorgeous actress outacts even her husband, sir Laurence Olivier. The two leads are, of course, outstanding... but the film itself drags and seems endless at times. But all for the sake of Viv and Larry!
It is just love in the air... The love of the Olivier's just shines right through. It is fun to see them act together, they are very comfortable with each other.
An amazing film! Vivien Leigh is so wonderful as the energetic amusing Emily. I fell in love with Laurence and Vivien (all over again) in this historic piece...Also i love Emma's mother ~~~ she's so sweet with her irish charm...
