Haven't seen the film yet as it comes out in German on 27 Novmember ... can't wait! By the way, it is too bad that a movie about Lord Cochrane ("The Sea Wolf") has not been made, since his life is stranger than fiction (and the basis for several popular sea faring characters, not just Aubrey, in the past 100 years). The exploits of Cochrane and Bernardo O'Higgins (the Chilean son of an Irish Viceroy) in liberating Chile are worth a separate movie. Cochrane was the last English lord to lose his coat of arms (later restored) and other privileges for being associated with an 1820s stock market scam ... his private efforts in assisting Chile, Brazil, and later Greece got him back in the good books ... a great combat/operational captain but lousy senior officer (he wouldn't make it in today's military where it is up or out ...!).

Cheers,
