Queen Anne's Revenge with Greek Fire by Glen McGuire - 1/400 - BOTTLE

[Glen McGuire]

There are 2 types of people in the world - those that recommend good movies to watch and those that recommend lousy movies.  @Snug Harbor Johnny and @KennyH78 are definitely the first type.  We watched the "In the Heart of the Sea" last night and thoroughly enjoyed it.  When I saw that Ron Howard was the director, I knew the odds were high that it would be a good movie, and it was.  Thanks for the recommendation!

And the third type is those that can't recall the title or who was in it..........

 Oh how that rings so true these days.

But seriously now, I'd like to recommend two excellent older classic movies; "Damn The Defiant"(1962) and "Billy Budd"(1962).

 

The first stars Alec Guinness as a frigate captain having to deal with both the French and his socially connected but insubordinate first lieutenant played by Dirk Bogarde (one of his finest roles).

 

The second stars Peter Ustinov as a captain who presses some seamen, among whom is Terence Stamp in his first role, as Billy, who falls afoul of the sadistic Master At Arms played by Robert Ryan.

 

I had both on VHS (haha) but I believe I only have Damn The Defiant on DVD.  Even my wife liked it. In fact, if the Jays weren't playing tonight I'm now in the mood to have watched it yet again......

I forgot to mention Gregory Peck's "Hornblower" which does a pretty good job of merging "The Happy Return" and "A Ship of the Line" books.

The only thing I did not like was his exaggerated "Ha-hm"; why couldn't he just clear his throat like a normal human??

This turned out nicely, Glen. The Essex SIB looks like a fun scenario.
