Amazon.com essential video:
Three years after Lawrence of Arabia, the largely impressive Lord Jim (1965) finds Peter O'Toole again essaying a self-doubting but remarkable, white Englishman who leads a foreign people against their oppressor. Based on the Joseph Conrad novel, Lord Jim is the story of a British maritime officer, Jim (O'Toole), who takes a brief post on a tramp steamer and flees in terror during a storm at sea. Dogged by a reputation for cowardice, Jim attempts to reinvent himself in his own eyes, commanding an attack against a feudal warlord (Eli Wallach) in a distant, Southeast Asian village and basking in god-like glory afterward. A sinister plot by a gentleman pirate (James Mason) sets the stage for Jim's confrontation with his true destiny. Simplified and adapted by writer-director Richard Brooks (In Cold Blood), Lord Jim sometimes feels rushed and obvious, but O'Toole's golden performance and legendary cinematographer Freddie Young's 70mm footage are outstanding. --Tom Keogh

I am a seventeen year old movie buff and am writing a series of reviews on films from the late fifties on so that parents can know what content issues may arise from these films. The sixties and seventies were known for pushing the content envelope to new levels and despite the common "if it's old it's ok for kids," statement, there are many films during this period that are not suitable for children.
After the review, I have also included my personal opinions on whether or not a film is ... Read More

It's still good, but at times hard to follow, and also incomplete in some areas. For example what were they fighting about? The film didn't go into good detail about what the fighting was about; was it religious? was it political? what what? The scenes were flawless, and the acting was rather good, and the chemistry between O'Toole, and the girl was splendid, but what was the fighting all about? I did get what the story was about, and that was about a man who needed a second chance to redeem himself ... Read More

Having read the novel before finally seeing this film in it's wide-screen format on DVD, I was expecting to be disappointed. Why? Because it's very hard to capture Conrad's psychology of the main character, Jim, onto the big screen. O'Toole comes very close in a very under-stated performance which ranks as one of his most under-rated in comparison to "Lawrence of Arabia" where he was much more flamboyant. Here he displays his angst and deep disgust at himself for failing at a crucial moment in his ... Read More

Once again, a DVD popped up when I did a search for "Jack Lord" in which Jack Lord never appears.
How the search engine decided "Lord Jim" had any relation to Jack Lord completely mystifies me.
Jack Lord is NOT, nor ever was, in "Lord Jim."
Somebody needs to clean up its search options so that what someone searches for is what one WANTS, and doesn't get a whole bunch of other stuff that has nothing whatever to do with the search.
Amazon, tsk.

Joseph Conrad's novel is a classic and Richard Brooks made a first-rate film version, with a great cast headed by Peter O'Toole in the early years of his career. Filmed in Super Panavasion 70 on locations in South East Asia, the film looks breathtaking in this excellent DVD transfer that has been remastered in high definition. Jack Hawkins narrates as well as appears (sadly, after he had had operations for throat cancer so his rich voice has lost some of its magic) and just when you think the story ... Read More
