The great W.C. Fields wrote and stars in this zany Universal comedy. He plays Egbert Sousi (pronounced Soo-zay ), a genial, unemployed lush who endures a miserable family life until the day he accidentally trips up a bank robber and becomes the town hero. The bank manager rewards him with a detective job and Egbert takes advantage of this new situation by embezzling funds in order to buy stock in a beefsteak mine. All hell breaks loose when a determined bank examiner (Franklin Pangborn) shows up in town to go through the books, and the mayhem ends in a hilarious car chase. The film also features Shemp Howard as the local bartender, Una Merkel as Field`s daughter, and Grady Sutton as her whining boyfriend. This was one of Field`s last, and best comedies, directed in typically uninhibited fashion by Eddie Cline.

This collection features two new episodes that continue C.S. Forester`s swashbuckling tales of sea hero Horatio Hornblower (Ioan Gruffudd). The setting is the 18th century, and the British are at war with Napoleon. Hornblower is an intellectual young midshipman who enters Her Majesty`s Navy as a bullied recruit but quickly rises through the ranks to take command of his first ship and become a hero of the seas. In Mutiny, Hornblower must deal with both Captain Sawyer (David Warner of TITANIC and TIME AFTER TIME)--who is brutally turning insane--and the Navy officials who want him court martialed and hanged. In The Retribution, Hornblower faces an incompetent lieutenant replacement for Captain Sawyer and a difficult siege of an enemy fort.
