That Hamilton Women (1941)

4. That Hamilton Woman (1941) - Korda. The story of Lord Nelson (Oliver) and his mistress in Naples Lady Hamilton (Vivien Leigh). Oliver and Leigh have great chemistry together (naturally) in this combination romance, period piece, and British propaganda film. Oliver makes an excellent, believable Nelson and Leigh never looked better or more attractive. A little long at 125 minutes (20 minutes could have cut easily) and the sea battles are obviously models but the star power, acting, production values and the story kept me interested. Rating ***
