I think where Hoffman was right on was in criticizing the general air of bonhomie and the overall (relative) cleanliness. I thought about that during the film, but I shrugged it off because it was entertaining. Still, it would be nice to see a movie about sailing life that looked and felt as grimy as the real thing. And I know about the real thing, because I was, in fact, a whaler in the 18th century. Hee hee...Wouldn't it be great if someone could pull off a really killer Moby Dick?
