That Hamilton Woman is kind of great – whether Winston Churchill wrote some of it or not. This is a WWII movie disguised as a movie about a hero of the Napoleonic Wars. Vivien Leigh is wonderful, and the gowns and the production design and the visual effects are excellent. It's a true Alexander Korda picture: big budget, fancy costumes, enormous naval battles. Delightful stuff. All of this is couched in a rather tiresome old plot about jilted wives and cheating husbands and other infidelities, but it's good fun all the same.
