I Remember Nelson - Vol 01 and 02 DVD

Worshipped as a national saviour, Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson masterminded the naval victories that thwarted Napoleon?s plans to invade Britain. Yet, in the midst of public adulation, rumours swirled about his private life. Nelson took a friend?s wife as a mistress and even fathered a child by her in secret. This lavish historical drama examines Nelson through the eyes of four people close to him: his wife, who feels bitter and betrayed but ultimately loving; his friend, who helplessly loses bold leadership but disdains his lifestyle; and an ordinary seaman, who turns to his commander for inspiration while facing death. What emerges is an unconventional portrait of a complex figure and a study in the effects of fame.
