I remembered enjoying it, just wasn't sure if it was age appropriate.

You would expect some violence in a show about war. Also, Ioan does and excellent job as Hornblower. All the actors were excellent! Over all great to hear what other things shows these actors have been in!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-12567355537028670422013-05-05T19:30:30.618-04:002013-05-05T19:30:30.618-04:00So glad I found this blog!

I hope you stick around my blog and enjoy my posts about period films, actors, history, music and art - all old-fashioned! <br /><br />~Miss Laurie :)Miss Laurie of Old-Fashioned Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096222035851269474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-21677443528227467002011-07-24T23:18:14.933-04:002011-07-24T23:18:14.933-04:00I have just discovered your blog and I think I may...I have just discovered your blog and I think I may have met a new best friend! :-) I, too, longed to see Ioan as Henry Tilney. So glad you posted all of these pictures and mentioned some of their previous films.

But there are quite a few "scary" scenes of war and "killing/fighting" so I wouldn't recommend HH for young people under the age of 14 (my sis is 14 and I'm not even sure she'd want to watch some parts). There is a LOT of history in it though, things that helped me understand the life of sailors in the Regency era and what characters such as Captain Wentworth of Persuasion and his brother officers. Hope this helps!Miss Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973247921599001493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-28923644743436320262010-06-17T19:34:16.726-04:002010-06-17T19:34:16.726-04:00Glad to hear it's good!

It looks neat, and I LOVE Ioan Gruffudd in the roles I've seen him in.<br /><br />What do you mean by "fairly clean"?Elinor Dashwood/Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01233456173816940821noreply@blogger.com
