The Divine Lady
US (1929): Comedy
The film tells the story of the romance of Lord Nelson (Victor Varconi) and Lady Hamilton (Corinne Griffith). The movie has some lovely visual moments, the most memorable being the two lovers on a swing and a battle at sea. But the film is a little slow going and the male lead is stiff and lacks charisma. For the best version of the story of Hamilton and Nelson, see the wonderful Vivian Leigh-Laurence Olivier movie That Hamilton Woman (1941). (IMDb)
