: Agreed! Never saw the Gregory Peck version, but I'd be tempted to check it out.

: Good for you! There's nothing I admire more than someone with a good neurotic compulsion. Though seeing a movie a mere two times probably doesn't qualify, when the viewings are only two days apart, it's a good start! ;o) And speaking for neurotic-compulsives everywhere, I'm thinking I'll watch this week's episode again on Tuesday, myownself! It's a nice escape from the workaday world, eh?
:::Hornblower's O>K> but if you really want to see a good period show - watch the'Sharpe' series. It's excellent (although the acting and dialogue doesn't match Hornblower) Sharpe is a great hero, and is played very convicingly by the highly drool-worthy SEAN BEAN. check it out, they're showing it on the HISTORY channel
