... the most gracefully directed and dramatically engaging film from British film impresario Korda, who generally directed like a producer.

Rating: 3.5/4 --
Leigh and Olivier translate their real-life passion to celluloid, making it curiously difficult to discern what was performed and was simply there

It's big. It's glossy. It's rather noisy. But it's also rather charming in its old-fashioned way.

Rating: B --
Olivier and Vivien Leigh made this romantic historical melodrama at the height of their popularity, which became Churchill's favorite film due to its propaganda elements during WWII.

Product Description:
The story of Emma Hamilton, the woman who raised herself from poverty and obscurity to become the mistress of one of history's most famous personages, Lord Admiral Nelson of the British Navy. An interesting note - this was Winston Churchill's favorite movie. AKA "Lady Hamilton." Academy Award Nominations: 4. Academy Awards: Best Sound Recording.
Product Description:
One of cinema's most dashing duos, real-life spouses Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier enact their greatest on-screen romance in this visually dazzling tragic love story from legendary producer-director Alexander Korda. Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars of the late eighteenth century, That Hamilton Woman is a gripping account of the scandalous adulterous affair between the British Royal Navy officer Lord Horatio Nelson and the renowned beauty Lady Emma Hamilton, the wife of a British ambassador. With its grandly designed sea battles and formidable star performances, Korda's film (Winston Churchill's favorite movie, which he claimed to have seen over eighty times) brings history to vivid, glamorous life.
