Movie Reviews of Captain Blood
Movie Review: Classic Swashbuckler
Summary: 5 Stars
Errol Flynn, Olivia DeHavilland, and Basil Rathbone were quite young when they made this classic B&W pirate movie. The photography and lighting are quite good. The print is excellent. The dialog is superb. And can you imagine Errol and Basil together without a first-class sword fight?
Dr. Peter Blood is sold as a slave to a plantation in Jamaica. After a daring escape he becomes Captain Blood, scourge of the Caribbean.
Lionel Atwill is at his classic best as a bad-to-the-bone Governor wannabee, determined to bring Blood to justice.
I've put this one in my "any time, any place" collection--flicks I will always watch over and over again. This is one of the best of what great movies used to be.
Movie Review: Awesome epic
Summary: 5 Stars
Errol Flynn to me is the definitive pirate. Handsome, dashing, and full of spirit. It was never planned for him to be teh star in Captain Blood. Rather, the man who was supposed to star in it wasn't able to so they stuck an almost unknown actor in the starring role. A good thing they did, for not only did they get a stellar performance, it also launced his carrer which allowed him to ultimately star in 'The Adventures of Robin Hood.'
Errol Flynn movies always deliver the action. Another you might like is 'They Died with their Boots On'. A rather fun movie of the life of Gerorge Armstrong Custer. Not very historically accurate but that aside, is a great movie.
Movie Review: My Favorite Pirate of the Caribbean!
Summary: 5 Stars
Errol Flynn was at his BEST!
Move over Captain Jack Sparrow! I absolutely love this picture. It's one of my favorite classics, even though Flynn died many years before I was even born. I fell in love with him! Captain Peter Blood is the original Pirate of the Carribean indeed. This is where it all started. Everything about this picture is grand. The story, the romance between Captain Blood and Arabella Bishop, the pirate ships, the swordfighting, and the MUSIC. The musical score is magnificent!
My heart skips a beat everytime I think of this movie! That is how precious this movie is to me. I'm glad to finally own this movie on DVD.
Movie Review: Errol Flynn knew how to swash his buckle...
Summary: 5 Stars
I grew up watching this movie on late night TV and loved it every time I watched it. As the years have gone by, it has not lost its appeal. Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland made a magical romantic movie team, as they showed many times after this picture.
I was thrilled when I saw this film was scheduled for a DVD release. I have only one concern. The details above show it as being a color film. Captain Blood was filmed in glorious black and white. Unfortunately it was one of those films that got subjected to "colorization" back in the 70s or 80s. I'm hoping the listing above is in error about this being the horrible colorization version.
Movie Review: Captain Blood and Adventures of Robin Hood
Summary: 5 Stars
Errol Flynn, Tasmanian born actor, is not only the quintessential swashbuckling hero of days of yore, he is a most accomplished actor who enunciates his lines in perfect upper-class English. He gives complete credibility to his role and has the bonus of possessing imposing good looks and regal bearing. Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood I first saw at the local Cinema when I was 12 years old and I am now 77 years of age. I am delighted to have these two fine DVD copies to show and reminisce. Many thanks AMAZON for your efficient handling and despatching of my order.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ian H. Hodgson
