 Rating:  - Billy Budd, the old movieThis is a powerful, moving story on human purity of soul and courage vs alienation, hatred and the heartless, unbending character of military (also applicable to military-like) bureaucracies.

Please believe everything positive people say about this film and more. There will simply never be a better cast assembled to film this Melville novella, and the handling and treatment are visionary and extraordinary.... ...except the last 3 minutes -- so far afield of Melville's subtlety and lesson as to be incomprehensible. Melville's ...

The setting is primarily aboard the H.M.S. Avenger in 1797 during one of the many wars between England and France. Young Billy Budd played by a youthful Terence Stamp is impressed into the British Navy from an English merchant ship. The pleasant easy going Budd immediately gains favor ...
