Great read about a great film. Watching Peter Weir ways warms my little Australian heart - have a lovely weekend Niall!

I absolutely adore this film and have the complete set of horatio hornblower. Can’t wait for my boys to mature enough to watch it with me. I also recommend ‘the 13th warrior’.

I had the misfortune of first 'watching' the film aged 10 and falling asleep shortly after they got to the Galapagos, hence went through much of my life thinking it was a bit of a damp squib that didn't live up to the implicit promise of 'Maximus but on a boat'. Thank goodness I married a woman who'd watched the whole thing. It should be on the national curriculum.

Us Orthodox finish the Lords Prayer with “Deliver us from the the evil one.”
