peter finch gives a brilliant performance, 24 May 2001
10/10
Author: Tony Rome from Long Island, New york

Peter Finch gives a brilliant performance as Nelson in this colorful, superbly photographed film. Glenda Jackson gives a fine performance as Lady Hamilton, but Finch stands out in this film, as the central character of focus. Too bad it is not on video or disc 10/10.
