> Arwen replaced Glorfindel, not Gandalf, in the movie. However, in the book, wasn't Frodo on his own horse, by himself, when he crossed the river just ahead of the Nazgul? I seem to remember that, and then he fainted and fell off his horse after the Ringwraiths got swept away by the river.

Hmm. IIRC, Glorfindel lent Frodo his horse so he could escape to Rivendell faster. I seem to recall Frodo protesting that he wouldn't leave his friends in danger, to which the reply was that it was him who attracted the danger in any case, so he should get on that horse and hurry. When the Nazgul attacked, Frodo crossed the river before them, but stopped on the other side to show a weak little attempt of resistance. The Nazgul laughed at him, started crossing the river reluctantly but also forced by the pursue of Glorfindel, Aragorn and the other hobbits, and were swept away by Elrond's nifty flood trick, enhanced by Gandalf with boulders and the illusions of riders. I think.
