And an Aubrey Maturin favourite
Aubrey and Maturin playing part of Boccherini's "La Musica Notturna delle Strade di Madrid. No. 6, Op. 30"
I loved the book, the film wasn't bad but perhaps I had too high expectations! Still Crowe was good as Jack although Bettany should have been a bit dirtier etc to play Maturin
Truly enjoyed book and film.

ReplyDeleteFilms of loved books ALWAYS fall short of expectations. But Crowe was very good. The rest was just OK. I enjoyed the visualization of those days.
ReplyDeleteFilms of books almost always disappoint to some extent. Still it ws beautifully filmed
