Gregory Peck is an excellent Horatio Hornblower. The sets are excellent, the sea-battles are very exciting, and the acting, despite the sparcity of British accents and nuance, is also excellent. The only discord is the 'Hispanic' dictator and his (very badly made-up Anglo) followers. The dictator comes off as an absurd cross between an original series Star Trek Klingon and Jon Lovitz in "Mom And Dad Save the World"
