Storyline

- TriviaIn London this film was the Royal Film Performance for 1965, with Queen Elizabeth II attending the premiere. James Mason was among the stars presented to the Queen, and he was able to secure free tickets for the evening for his parents, who were both octogenarians by this time. However, they disliked the film so much that they discreetly left the theater at the intermission - even though their son had not yet appeared on-screen.
- GoofsWhen Jim is going up river, one of his companions throws a knife into another's back, but the knife is already in his back as he turns to warn Jim.

Superb Acting; Don't Miss This Classic Drama
"Lord Jim" is a film that offers viewers satisfaction on many levels. Although it is set in an exotic locale and has a considerable amount of action, the real story of this movie is its exploration of the human condition. Love, honor, courage, commitment and redemption all come into play as the story moves from the sea to the jungle. It reminds us how a split-second decision can alter dramatically the course of our lives.
"Lord Jim" is a well-paced, engaging film. Peter O'Toole's thought-provoking and moving performance will stick in your mind long after you see this movie. I haven't read the book so I can't speak to the movie's faithfulness to the original text, but it does stand on its own legs as a thoroughly entertaining film. If you like movies such as "Lawrence of Arabia" or "The Sand Pebbles", you will definitely enjoy "Lord Jim." I highly recommend it.
Hopefully, it will become available on DVD soon.
