DVD Reviews of Captain Blood
DVD Review: Captain Blood
Summary: 4 Stars
I have
enjoyed the film everytime that I watched it. I have gotten rid of my VHS player and changed to DVD. Amazon was prompt in delivery as ever. GOOD JOB..
DVD Review: As Good As Advertised, Then And Now!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not that big on pirate movies and I thought this might be overrated.....but I was wrong. This is good stuff and I wonder if a more realistic pirate movie has ever been made. This DVD transfer is very good, too.
This was Errol Flynn's first starring role and it sure got him off to a flying start. Few actors have ever played the "dashing hero" as well as Flynn. Despite being almost "worship idol" status by women, he is still comes across as a "man's man," and that all started with this film.
What I liked best about this was that the story stood out more than the action or the romance. Many times classic films overdid the latter, producing lulls in what was considered an adventure story. That's not the case here. It also isn't the typical clich?d pirate film in which the captain is seen with an eye patch and a parrot on his shoulder.
This is nothing fancy, just a just solid story.....period, which is probably why it holds up so well almost 75 years later!
DVD Review: Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is absolutely great! Hollywood at its best. There is eloquent and witty dialogue. Plenty of exciting action. And likeable characters. This is a true classic. DVD Review: Number one Swashbuckler
Summary: 5 Stars
This clasic movie is my favorite swashbuckler. It's a great story with exceptionally good dialogue. The acting is superb from Flynn to the smallest bit player. I have watched it over and over and look forward to the next time.DVD 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.
Description of Captain Blood
An enslaved english doctor and his comrades in chains escape and become pirates of the robin hood variety Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 04/19/2005 Starring: Errol Flynn Basil Rathbone Run time: 119 minutes Rating: NrThe swashbuckler had been around long before Errol Flynn drew a cutlass, but the Tasmanian-born bit player reinvigorated the genre with his mix of dashing good looks, haughty insolence, and alluring confidence. Adapted from the novel by Rafael Sabatini (who also penned The Sea Hawk), this rousing adventure chronicles the travails of Peter Blood (Flynn), a righteous doctor unjustly sold into slavery for treating the wounds of rebels, a kind of British Dr. Mudd. Sent to a Jamaican plantation where he toils under the brutal whip of Lionel Atwill and seethes with passion for his fair niece (the astonishingly beautiful Olivia de Havilland), he escapes from bondage with his fellow prisoners and becomes the gentleman rogue pirate of the Caribbean. Director Michael Curtiz builds from one set piece to another, including a nimble beachside sword fight with pirate nemesis Basil Rathbone and climaxing with a grand sea battle that belies the film's modest budget. Flynn's bravado and charisma are apparent from his entrance, but once he leaps into action he takes command of the picture, overcoming his still-green dramatic skills with sheer personality. Captain Blood made stars of Flynn and de Havilland and catapulted Curtiz to the top ranks of Warner directors. The three reunited for some of the studio's best-loved adventures: The Charge of the Light Brigade, The Adventures of Robin Hood, and Dodge City. --Sean Axmaker
