Yes, I read it in translation and my (seemingly wrong)
reminiscence of the famous line comes from the Coppola film.
But then again, Brando mumbles so badly it's tough to hear
what he's saying.. In Finnish it's just "Kauhu. Kauhu!",
which could be either "The horror. The horror!" or "The
terror. The terror!" (or even without the articles!). Both
words are used in that context.
