"Captain, are you surrendering? Do you ask for quarter?"

Tonight we watched 1959's "John Paul Jones". It was entertaining, but the events were probably highly inaccurate, as these films tend to be. The ships *looked* more accurate though - in most of the scenes set below deck, Robert Stack would have cracked his skull open if he'd tried walking upright.
