Captain Horatio Hornblower Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
February 22, 2025
Captain Horatio Hornblower is a classic adventure film that squeezes romance into its grand naval battle. It’s predictable but well-crafted, with beautifully shot action sequences and an engaging maritime battle.
Washington Star
Jay Carmody
It is unlikely that even the most intense of Hornblower admirers will find anything to complain of in Peck's portrait of the lion-hearted captain, or of Miss Mayo's impersonation of the fiery, lovely Lady Barbara.

Bob Thomas
Excellent adventure stuff.
CinePassion

Breathtaking

Brilliant adventure film with rich visual style.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Captain Horatio Hornblower showed the 64 year-old director Raoul Walsh still able to conjure up a rousing good action picture, even in color and with a largish budget.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A thinking person's swashbuckler.

...holds its own against Russell Crowe's CGI expeditions from topsail to yardarm, and this one has more plot.
