Movie Reviews of The Master of Ballantrae
Movie Review: STILL AS DASHING AS EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
THE MASTER OF BALLANTRAE was made late in Errol Flynn's career. This 1953 release remains beautiful technicolor escapist fare. Roger Livesey, with a rich brogue, provides perfect support. As is the custom with the Flynn swashbucklers, this one provides adventure, romance, comedy and top-notch photography. The legion of Flynn's fans won't be disappointed with this one ... nor will those seeking 90 minutes of swordplay, pirating, romance and excitement.
Summary of The Master of Ballantrae
Shot in Britain, the Scottish Highlands, and a quasi-Caribbean corner of Italy, The Master of Ballantrae has a goofy charm reminiscent of certain Michael Powell movies--a comparison encouraged by Jack Cardiff's magic-hour Technicolor and an exuberant costar turn for Roger Livesey. Something of an autumnal swashbuckler for Errol Flynn, it's also the last film for William Keighley, the starting director on Adventures of Robin Hood 15 years earlier. The Robert Louis Stevenson tale hop-skip-jumps through Bonnie Prince Charlie's bid to reclaim Scotland, the ensuing English crackdown, a bloody falling-out between brothers (Flynn and Anthony Steel), two overlapping romantic triangles, two assumed deaths (same guy), piracy on the high seas, yo-ho-ho in Tortuga, then back to Ballantrae for several showdowns--all in 89 minutes. Call it picaresque or just cockeyed, this amiable entertainment deserves rescuing from oblivion. Likewise the post-pretty-boy Flynn, whose jaded bonhomie plays into the quirky mix. --Richard T.
