A life-long friendship is maintained although Lord Nelson and Blake never see each other again.
Blake grows up to become an important person of Lloyd's of London, the syndicates that insured English shipping. We don't have to go into Nelson's part of history.
This is the story of Blake being befriended and taken into the business as a young lad by the elderly gentleman.
It is also the story of Blake rescuing a British damsel, Madeleine Carroll, from Napoleon's decree and getting her back to England, only to find out that she is married to the aristocratic George Sanders, up to no good as usual.
We see history coming forth via the bells being rung at Lloyd's. The ending is tragic, but very meaningful.
Tyrone Power was only 22 years of age when he made this excellent film. He gave a terrific performance and was destined for stardom. How ironic that 22 years later,while in a dueling scene with Sanders in "Solomon and Sheba," Power suffered a fatal coronary which stunned the movie kingdom.
Look for E.E. Clive, the magistrate in this film. A year before, he took the same exact part in "A Tale of Two Cities."
You will really appreciate investments after viewing this film. It was basically a story of putting country first before the all-mighty pound.
