  3. Я так давно видела этот фильм и он потряс меня.И ведь это не выдумка,все так и было.По профессии я преподаватель английского языка ,работала в университете с людьми уже взрослыми.И когда мы проходили тему Великобритания,я всегда давала студентам задание прочитать дополнительно об адмирале Нельсоне.Они что-то в энциклопедии вычитывали,но никогда ничего не знали о его большой любви.Тогда я им рассказывала о леди Гамильтон.Этот рассказ для них всегда был каким-то открытием.Может сейчас они уже нашли этот фильм и вспомнили наши уроки.

  5. Poignantly beautiful the story of Lady Hamilton and its stars Leigh and Olivier, at the apex of the own marriage. Thank you for the uploading of this gem of a film.??

  13. I've never seen a more beautiful bedroom than Emma's.
    I wish I had one like that with the huge balcony full of sunshine in the summer.

  14. Thank you for uploading a lovely film I always love Vivien Leigh. It is nice to see these Black and Whites so much acting not only in the people but in the atmosphere through the skill of the craftsmen who built the sets.

  21. Love these historical fiction movies….. See also Lloyds of London (w/Tyrone Power & Madeleine Carroll and/or Marie Antoinette with Ann Sheridan and Tyrone Power). England was very proud of their heroes, and glorified them in many of their dramatizations, romanticizing the scandals of private life (a bit familiar even for our side of the pond).

    Facts behind fiction (skullied from the web): Horatio Nelson , (born September 29, 1758—died October 21, 1805, at sea, off Cape Trafalgar, Spain), was one of many commanders in the wars with Napoleonic France, who won crucial victories in such battles as those of the Nile (1798) where he was killed by enemy fire on the HMS Victory. In private life, he was known for his extended love affair with Emma, Lady Hamilton, while both were married.

  26. England has a long tradition of high snobbery, which is loathsome. This behavior marks a level of human nature that is lower than a snake's ball sack, and even the poorest and most wretched people support this by worshiping rich and snobby people. The human race is doomed.

  30. I love to see Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier together. Such chemistry, even tho shortly after this film they started having problems due to her mental issues. Their beautiful love eventually ended in divorce. From what I've read they never stopped loving each other, even tho he married very down to earth, Joan Plowright. He also loved her deeply. What a man!!

  37. I read that Lady Hamilton, Nelson and Lord William lived together at one time. They made quite a strange ménage a trois for the world to see. It was sad her daughter Horatia never acknowledged her, and that she had ample funds to live on, but was so used to the extravagances of being the Queen of Naples and spent it all. Left to die penniless in Calais! Yes, Nelson should have just divorced his wife. It seemed there was nothing between them.. physical, but he was at sea.. but if they had anything love between them.. love letters??

  41. Wonderful movie, Leigh & Olivier – both equally exquisite . Born in London and raised in Portsmouth where Nelson's famous flagship H.M.S. Victory remains open to public in the historical Naval Dockyards. As a child i stayed on H.MS Foudroyant another famous galleon mentioned in the movie , organized by my school .. it was an insight to ship life in those days I shall never forget, we slept in hammocks and scrubbed the decks etc. in stormy weather , she was permanently moored out in Portsmouth harbour then. I now live in Toronto and was reminded of the infamous Battle of Trafalgar where the hospital my grandson was born recently bares the same namesake. Thank you so much for posting

  43. Emma Hamilton was a chancer who seduced the naive Nelson with her 'bedroom' antics. He was soon besotted and became a bit of a laughing stock which nearly finished his career. After years of over indulgence she ended up fat and broke and got her just deserts. Nelson's wife fanny was the one wronged. Emma was just a slag. Unlike Vivien Leigh of course who was gorgeous!
