Lafayette focuses on the 19-year-old Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, who makes things unpleasant for the British from Brandywine to Yorktown. Michel Le Royer plays the teen-age major general as a cross between Nelson Eddy and Prince Valiant; he wears a blond pageboy bob and glow-in-the-dark dentures, while everyone else has a blue-rinsed peruke.

Larsen, in 1942 became the first vessel to make the passage from west to east. But both Amundsen and Larsen sailed through Prince of Wales Strait, detouring around the broader, more direct but more northerly western exit: fog-shrouded, ice-choked McClure...
