Horatio Hornblower Series -Available at the club.
Author C.S. Forester wrote 11 novels featuring the character of Hornblower, a sailor in the British navy at a time when the forces of Napoleon stormed across Europe and wooden ships were the battleships of the day. The novels are a potent mix of history, adventure, and naval lore, and there are dozens of adventures available for adaptation. Horatio Hornblower: Collector's Edition takes several stories from the first novel of the series (Mr. Midshipman Hornblower) and later episodes and adapts them in a close but occasionally liberal manner.
Several of the episodes found in Horatio Hornblower: Collector's Edition veer off the path of Forester's originals, either for budgetary or dramatic reasons. "The Wrong War," for instance, is based on the story "The Frogs and the Lobsters," but adds a framing device, a female companion, and a dramatic beach rescue to increase the dramatic elements. Similarly, "The Devil and the Duchess" still holds the basic structure of its original story, but adds a prison intrigue and expands a relationship which was very brief when on the written page. In some cases, events of the stories have been cut in order to save what would have made their production much more expensive. Despite the changes, the conclusions of the films are largely the same as that of their source material; in short, the films generally end up in the same place, only by a different route.
Given the limited budget of a television series the producers of Horatio Hornblower: Collector's Edition are able to mount, if not a large-scale experience, then at least a consistently mid-sized one. The ship-to-ship combat that marked the literary series is somewhat limited, which is understandable given the dearth of real-world ships available to be blown apart on television. As a result, the show often compensates with close-up shots of exploding decks and flying debris, or by limiting the combat to only a couple of minutes of screen time. Even with a limited budget the sea and combat effects are a solid mix of green screen, CGI, and model work, and there are times when the action goes beyond merely acceptable and enters the realm of impressive.
