History comes to vivid, glamorous life courtesy of one of cinema's most dashing duos! Vivien Leigh and Sir Laurence Olivier enact their only on-screen romance in this Academy Award®-winning, visually dazzling, tragic love story. Set against the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, That Hamilton Woman is a gripping account of the scandalous affair between the British Royal Navy officer Lord Horatio Nelson and the renowned beauty Lady Emma Hamilton, the wife of a British ambassador. Few would detect the 1941 film's propaganda effort to equate Hitler with Napoleon. Alexander Korda's production is newly restored in a high-definition, black and white digital transfer.
