watched the 1951 hornblower today and it was pretty good tbh

really downplayed how weird bush is about hornblower while still making him pretty weird about hornblower

also as someone whos only watched the show and read the first two books and part of hotspur i was very confused by the arrival of lady barbara. who is this pretty blonde lady.
