Movie Reviews of Captain Blood
Movie Review: Puts the "S" in Swashbuckler
Summary: 5 Stars
This is classic stuff here. Robust direction by Michael Curtiz. Rich storytelling. A charismatic lead performance by a young Errol Flynn. A ravishing Olivia de Havilland. Great music score. Stunning art direction. Good set pieces not the least the battle between Blood's pirate ship and some French vessels. My only quibble is that Basil Rathbone isn't in the movie long enough. His character was deliciously villainous. In a word, don't miss.Movie Review: Errol Flynn, Errol Flynn
Summary: 5 Stars
Feared by the bad, loved by the good: Captain Blood, Captain Blood. With his band of men. The man that every boy with his heart in the right place would want to be. Incomparably dashing, handsome, noble, skilled with wit and sword, athletic, generous, tender and brave. He'll right every wrong, stand up for freedom and justice, save a fair maiden, scorn riches and puncture villains. Sigh. Why isn't there anyone like him these days ?Movie Review: The Classic Swashbuckler
Summary: 5 Stars
Captain Blood, based fairly accurately on Rafael Sabatini's classic novel, presents us with the forerunner of today's romantic pirate. Played beautifully by Erroll Flynn, Captain Blood is a brilliant, impetuous doctor cast by fortune into slavery, and from slavery into piracy by fickle fate. Wonderfully dramatic, it is a picture which helped launch Errol Flynn to stardom, and made swashbuckling a hollywood tradition.Movie Review: The greatest pirate movie EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rafael Sabatini wrote a range of heroic characters in high adventure stories from Scaramouche to the Sea Hawk and Captain Blood. Any one of those stories are superior to the Pirates of the Carribean. The problem with remaking them is we don't have any living actor who comes close to Errol Flynn or even Stewart Granger. So, I highly recommend going retro and watching anyone of the three. I'd start with Blood first.Movie Review: My Favorite Swashbuckler
Summary: 5 Stars
Just a terriffic studio production, making good use of their new swashbuckler, E. Flynn. Everyone looks like they are enjoying themselves immensely. A little fantasy as Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, fill the screen, bigger than life. How sad those great films can't be made again. Today we have the latest The Clone of Titantic.
Basil Rathbone, the best movie fencer, the best villian, the best.
