Here is the film of Conrad`s Lord Jim, A seafaring story that will take your mind off the Scargills strike.
Reminiscent of our days in the Spice Islands/

Re: Lord jim, a seafaring story
Peter O Tool one of the Finest Actors of our time I would say!
Loved him in Lawrence of Arabia! What a Movie!
And another old one that stands out and in my Brian was "Rouge Male" that was also a magnificent Movie!
Cheers
You can watch it here well worth the time !

Re: Lord jim, a seafaring story
Thanks Brian, I have read the book, much better than this effort. Very nostalgic to hear Jack Hawkins voice.
R 627168 On all the Seas of all the World
There passes to and fro
Where the Ghostly Iceberg Travels
Or the spicy trade winds blow
A gaudy piece of bunting,a royal ruddy rag
The blossom of the Ocean Lanes

Jack Hawkins in 'The Cruel Sea', one of the better movies about the sea and war.


Happy daze John in Oz.
