Years ago they showed the making of Master and Commander and interviewed Russell Crowe and the Director. Crowe was terrifed of heights and struggled to climb up to the crows mast on the main mast, but he got through it. They made the fighting sequences as authentic as possible down to the hand to hand combat scenes and sword fighting techniques. It was indeed an outstanding movie and one I watch often. As a sailor myself its always interesting to focus on the sailing on this man of war, especially when they are running down wind and hauling ass like, "smoke and oak".
