H.M.S. Defiant
Opis filmu
Opis oryginalny: angielski
In 1797, the humane Captain (Royal Navy) Crawford (Alec Guinness) is in command of the warship HMS ''Defiant'' during the French Revolutionary Wars. He soon finds himself in a battle of wills with his Executive officer, the sadistic and supercilious first lieutenant, Mr. Scott-Padget (Dirk Bogarde). The lieutenant believes that Crawford is too soft on his crew, and also disagrees with the captain's decision to follow his orders to sail to Corsica despite word that Napoleon has overrun much of Italy. Scott-Padget has powerful family connections, which he has used in the past to "beach" two previous commanding officers with whom he disagreed. Knowing that Crawford is helpless to intervene, Scott-Padget subjects the Captain's son, Midshipman Harvey Crawford (David Robinson), to excessive daily punishments so as to gain leverage over the captain.
