Random Trivia For This Title:

Revealing mistake: After Wellard dies he is clearly still breathing.
Continuity: When the Spanish prisoners break into the captains cabin, Captain Sawyer and Midshipman Wellard are standing behind the table, with Wellard to the Captains left. After they are shot, the scene showing them laying on the deck, now has Wellard to the Captains right.
It is based on the book Lieutenant Hornblower by C.S. Forester.
