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.

Terrible Movie And Even Worse Adaptation
Orson Welles said in regards to this movie, "If I was police commissioner of the world I would put Richard Brooks in prison for what he did to Lord Jim." I agree with his sentiment.
Joseph Conrad's Lord Jim is one of the finest novels ever written, but Brooks' adaptation is a tremendous disappointment. In concept Peter O'Toole is a perfect choice, however even his performance is weak(something I would blame also in part on Richard Brooks). Which leaves this movie with having done nothing right.
