Presenting Michael Redgrave at CS Foresters in Dominable Man of the Sea, Horatio Hornblower.

Sailing brazenly into a Russian port had been a gamble.

Yet my orders from the Admiralty had stated two objectives. Impressed the Russians and the Swedes with Britain may will strengthen ingenuity and at the same time, bring them into the war on our side if you can.

Orders which might, of course, prove somewhat contradictory on occasions.

So, once we'd entered Constant Harbor, the Tsar himself had come aboard in Cognito.

Even though he hadn't once admitted his identity, I'd hoped he'd been impressed with the fine show we'd staged for him.

My old comrade Captain Bush was still puzzling about all this the next morning on our quarterback.

Sir, was it actually the Tsar himself who you quite sure? Why, of course, I'm sure.

You had talked about the Cognito Nord.

With the officials for the visit of that sir.

Well, he milled on any usage when he's traveling, I hope Bush Bush.

What an old skeptic you've begun. I'd say, look forward Bush that.

That smart little lucker with the insignia.

Now perhaps our answers on the way.

Mr. Hearth, sail bearing for us from the shore.

Aye, aye sir, I know you.

Let me know in the moment you're the one side Mr. Hearth.

If she carries a messenger, make him welcome.

Aye, aye sir, see you in the bunker.

Your car seems interested, too sir.

Over there, the starboard rail is just coming from the road.

Oh, sugar, you mean?

It's a peculiar fella, that. Did you and I visit him?

Of course, himself, a man without a country now because of what the Russian did to Finland.

Do you like him, sir?

What do you mean?

Well, you don't.

Well, sir, I have a bit shift in.

You're right.

It amuses me, the Admiralty, posting him to help me win the Russian's over.

Oh, well. Well, at least he speaks all these weird vortex tongues.

Yes, sir?

Like on a long side, sir.

That officer aboard, bringing you this letter, sir.

You wait for your answer.

Thank you, Mr. Hearth.

Give him a drink of rum or something.

Aye, aye sir.

What did I tell you, Bush?

Well, look at that coat of arms.

Well, you know, Imperial Palace of Beetles.

Oh, it's in French.

I am bitten to dine with his Imperial Majesty and his royal highness, the Prince of Sweden.

This afternoon at four o'clock.

Oh.

I'm accompanied by my staff.

The officer who conveys this letter will serve as guide.

Ah, Mr. Mond.

Oh, tell me.

Would you, would you care to dine with a sabers afternoon?

What?

His Imperial Majesty, the sabers of all the Russians, Mond.

At Peterhoff, his palace on the Iranian bound shore over there at four o'clock.

Sir, I naturally I dine.

But I'm near their tent.

Well, I think you need a little change.

You still look a bit sedent.

This preposterous, oriental document mentions a staff.

Well, we must create one since Captain Bush will stay here with the squadron.

Now, who do you suggest, sir, to serve?

Well, sir, I'm indeed young.

And excited.

You will need Miss Saga, I expect older.

At the Clarks, sir.

Well, can he proceed as your interpreter?

Yes, he was.

Just why they settled me with that clown fellow.

Oh, yes, yes, we must.

We must have had a long, of course.

Then, first, must go as for a lieutenant's protocol and one midshipman.

Which one, ma'am?

Sir, some is the brightest, sir.

I may say so.

What is that one?

Well, very good. Some is it is.

Now, please find the word to him as you return to change the clothes.

This uniform, of course.

We must be up in, oh, half an hour.

I can be ready, sir.

And thank you, sir.

Peter Hough Palace definitely was not near the water.

We doctor midsiluting vineyards in monstrous bare skins.

And then we're ushered into carriages, in which we drove for what seemed mild and mild,

past parks and tennis lawns and marble fountains.

I couldn't help thinking how much my dear wife, Barbara, would enjoy all this.

And at every turn, there were centuries on guard,

just representing arms as we world by.

Oh, there, now, at last.

The Peter Hough.

Just round the next curve, you see?

Which would casual remark about assassination.

At turn, my thoughts on either lay back to folder, and that pistol.

I remember the man's brooding hatred of Russia is bitter, sensible pressure.

And suddenly, great happens why hadn't it occurred to me before.

Could it be?

Could he be in a tender?

Yeah.

The group holds.

As we drove up before the palace, and were met by swarms of liberate fortmen,

I can try to have a word alone with mound, who was sorgher and the others,

and occupied another carriage.

For all my company, I felt mound was almost reliable.

Well, you see what I mean, eh, man?

I do, sir.

Of course.

Quite shocking, sir.

The number of my own ship's company, my own clock.

So, I think it's inconceivable, isn't it?

No, sir.

Perhaps I'm imagining the whole thing.

I hope so, sir.

Well, help me keep an eye on him.

It looks as if there'll be a crush of people.

Now, what child here he comes out?

Who's this with him with all the gold lace?

Please, you have the trineness to accompany me, sir, on board.

I trust that I see you in good health, sir.

Come on, sir.

Thank you.

I'm in the best of health, sir.

I'm your squadron, which I had the pleasure of visiting.

But yesterday, in company, it was the gold jewel.

My squadron is in the best of health, too, ex-unzi.

Yes, today.

Above your tax ship, we discussed a very briefly this man, Bonaparte.

Hey, his policies.

Yes.

It was, I believe, your opinion that his troops might constitute a real threat to Russia.

My, sir.

I fear it's less conditional than that.

Bonaparte, overrun, Swedish pamerania the other day.

Then 50,000 troops in the moment he got news of our appearance in the Baltic.

Yes.

Trins has been out of Sweden this year, even now.

This evening, he'll be concerning with his imperial majesty.

Yes, I had heard so.

Now, sir, Bonaparte now controls the entire Baltic coast, right to the Russian frontiers.

That would be most convenient to him in one particular event.

In the event of his deciding to attack you.

There helps you, all right.

And yet you know, we've had a treaty with him.

How Bonaparte respects no treaty is excellency.

And now he's taken pamerania.

There's no base for an attack on his rear.

He can march on there against some people's work with no fear of it being cut off anywhere.

Ah, there helps, man.

There are so many considerations.

Throw and come.

But, for all his promises to be a very difficult decision.

Then, what's your excellency saying to me is, come along.

I am merely advising patients.

Since there is no decision yet by those responsible for higher policies,

I do not wish you to draw premature conclusions.

No, to be over-haired in communicating with your government.

That was why I asked you kindly.

And we must not seek to hear from the slow steps of history.

And now, if I give you longer, you'll be late of the imperial reception.

There are lovely ladies waiting to meet you.

Ah, there will soon arise that troubled front of your time, certain.

Ah, Princess.

The ordinar part of the twilight.

It's orange.

Most charming lady.

The Countess can hear it.

The Countess may I present to you.

It's the right time.

The Countess can hear it.

The Countess may I present to you.

Then, the Princess may I present to you.

The Countess may I present to you.

The Countess can hear it.

This may I present Commodore Sir Horatio Ornblor of his Titanic Majesty's Royal Navy.

This is the greatest of pleasure.

The last.

As a distinguished stranger Commodore, you will take precedence immediately after the

version of the door is excellently in Gordakampant.

And now, if you excuse me, there are other guests I have to welcome with this reduction.

Sir, closely my friend and you will see the Prince of Sweden interpreted Imperial Majesty our star.

And suddenly, I did see Soga, he stood quite unobtrusively at one end of the gallery beside

a pillar.

But there was something in his attitude, fierce, you know, intensity that follows my blood.

Alexander had conquered Finland, Prince Bernadotte had condemned the act, and there stood Soga,

hating both of them.

My turn.

Go through the background, look, it's not standing there, gaping at the celebrities below.

Oh, thank you, my dear.

You're pardoning us.

I'm sorry, my dear.

You're pardoning us.

Oh, come on, hurry.

As food Soga by his pillar, Soga didn't even notice our approach.

His hand went to his waistband beneath his coat.

He was drawing Mike Pistol.

Shall I shoot?

No, no, don't.

Don't cause a commotion.

There's just one way, one silent way.

My sword.

I put my sword out of its capitals.

I couldn't afford to miss my mark at the first stroke.

Flashed quickly at the wrist that held the pistol.

With tendons severed, the man's fingers opened muselessly.

The gun fell heavily to the carpet, and Soga turned in open mouth, surprised.

Standing first at the spurting blood, then at me, venomously.

All right, Soga, that does it.

Make one more move, and you'll feel the blade somewhere else.

Observe, it's pointed at your heart.

Well, have anything to say, Soga?

No, Commodore.

I have nothing to say.

Take the pistol, man.

Look after him.

Tie that wrist up.

Get him out somehow.

Nobody's noticed yet.

They're all much too absorbed in their precious royalties down there.

And find some as an haste.

I click, we can still him somewhere.

Good lad, good lad.

Sorry, but I've got to get back down below.

I have to be untroubled, emissive, if promoting.

But then why, sir?

I'll see he causes no more trouble.

If I have to sit on his thick head all the afternoon.

Ah!

Welcome back, sir, Commodore.

I have extremely sorry.

I can't.

I had no intention.

It's also great hate you showed in leaving me with you.

I couldn't help but think I had offended you.

Oh, no, no, no, no, nothing like that.

You see, well...

No, never mind.

I have forgiven you already.

And please, do not look so austere.

But see, here come the royal party.

They make the tour of the great companies

picking a word for each other.

Oh, Schringer, I must be leaving.

The Grand Master will soon present you to his Imperial Majesty.

I've already met...

No, no, my mistake, I...

I wonder if they can't do no or not to be here to result in it.

They can't do no, right?

I do not know him.

Your Imperial Majesty, this is Commodore's issue, Hornblower.

Your Imperial Majesty, his Royal Highness, the Prince of Sweden.

Your Royal Highness.

Imperial Majesty, your Royal Highness.

It is a privilege to meet Commodore Hornblower.

Of whom I have heard so much.

Indeed, we have all heard of his exploits.

Oh, you know, your Majesty is much too kind.

You appreciate your time here with us today, Commodore.

Talk me as odd, everyone standing up to nine.

But then, one shouldn't question others' customs.

Along tables literally groaned with food of all descriptions.

So it was quite odd, too.

And so I appeared a time for misdivide.

Especially when some grey unappetizing looking stuff was handed

as by a footman.

So the Countess came to my rescue.

That is caviar.

Prime, you will approve, I think.

And what's this in the glass?

It looks like water.

No, no, no.

It is not water.

You discover it.

What's the Commodore?

What's the drink of the people?

Interesting.

Interesting.

This other stuff, this is caviar.

Mmm, delicious.

It's truly delicious.

You know, it seems a bit unusual to a stranger

to eat standing up, but you know,

this is one of the jollyest parties I ever attended.

Laughter, bright lights, beautiful women music.

You know, I'm feeling quite very quiet.

Might exhilarate.

And that is innocuous looking transparent stuff.

What have you done?

What can Commodore do?

Yes, everyone here seems to toss it down in front of them.

Most casual air must be there.

I have been sometime at sea, you know.

It's a different kind of life.

And then all this sort of thing.

So, you know, bits with harsh compared to this.

And I'm sure.

Well, I think I'll have some more of that, that salad

and some cheese.

It's extremely good.

Thank you.

Your hand is a joy to the people.

You're a gentleman.

You know, I'm a gentleman.

Oh, by all.

How many courses can you do?

Don't be concerned.

At least you've now discovered you like Russian preliminaries.

I shall gladly advise you on which courses to neglect.

Ah, you have a kind heart, but I won't.

Two pictures.

Interesting.

Very much.

Pictures.

Yes.

Same thing.

Oh.

Yes, yes.

The picture gallery of this salad is considered very fine.

This evening, after dinner, I could show it to you.

How much less?

Of course, you would prefer to join the CarPlay.

Oh, no, no, no.

I'd much prefer to see pictures.

Can't you, sir?

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

After the royal party has withdrawn,

if you are by the door on the part side,

I shall show you the way.

That would be a delightful moment.

My husband, the Count, used to be quite interested in pictures.

I married him in a mere child.

But after all, he is now quite elderly.

He has lost interest in the 9th grade.

This is because left dining hall now slipped up to outside the door.

I thought you'd want to know, sir.

That is in the side room.

I'm lost.

Good, good, good.

You know, I could trust you, Ma'am.

He finds you with a loss of blood.

Yes.

You with a tourniquet.

Far from my shirt.

Someone's in touch regarding him.

Anyone found out about it, Ma'am?

No, sir.

Nobody saw us get hurt.

I brought some liquor on his coat.

And from the smell of him, anyone will think he's drunk.

We'll smuggle him out somehow.

But, sir, the sooner we get him away, the better, sir.

Yes, you're right, sir.

Well, except that he's a good man.

No, I have.

I don't think we can hurry off at once.

No, hold the fort, ma'am.

We'll have to stay here another hour, at least.

Cut as it is, ma'am.

Yes, sir.

Aye, aye, sir.

Just as you say.

Here you are, Commodore.

I've waited as you see.

I said you had a kind heart.

Come, just come here.

Ha, ha.

The Italian pictures of the Cinquecento are in the farthest gallery.

But perhaps you'd care to see the more modern ones, sir.

Their gallery isn't quite so well-liked.

Unfortunately, it's just come to be.

Well, I must return to my ship with the others.

Yes, I'm afraid, in the end, times like this.

So many duties weighing heavily.

You need?

And it is not only now that you remember them?

Well, I must.

Thank you so very much for your great kindness to the two of us, awkward guests.

And also for your friend, with us.

For me today, the Russians are the most delightful people in the world.

But I must be getting back aboard my ship.

My dearest father, dear wife.

I've only just returned from a rather extraordinary day at the Tsar's court.

You would have been amused, I think, to see me determine,

throughout all the dignity of Britain, amid all that gold, lace, and pomp and circumstances.

I must amazing people, these Russians.

Highly ambiguous as to their intentions in this war.

Yet going some lengths today to show me friendliness and sympathy.

Oh, yes.

Yes, there was a rather attractive little princess.

Well, I forget that exact name.

Over a time made herself especially amiable in showing courtesy to us strangers.

None of them here, however, can begin to compare with our English women, either in appearance or in deportment.

Just let me remove out of constant harbor, I'm not quite sure yet.

I miss yourself very much tonight.

I send you all my love.

Remember that?

You're most obedient husband.

Horatio.
