DVD Reviews of Captain BloodDVD Review: The best of the swashbucklers Summary: 5 StarsCaptain Blood is the archetypal swashbuckler. Half a century later, it's still fun to watch! It's easy to see why Errol Flynn became a "star."
DVD Review: sexy, swash-buckling adventure! Summary: 5 Starsas only Erroll Flynn can deliver! a classic movie that any age will find intriguing and non-stop action to keep you on the edge of your seat! worth seeing for many years to come...
DVD Review: Full Version of an Old Favorite Summary: 5 StarsA top 10 among my favorites, recorded from television several years ago. Was pleasantly surprised at the additional material included on my DVD. A great example of the superiority of the films made during this era. Errol Flynn at his best and that is very good indeed.
DVD Review: Classic Swashbuckler Summary: 5 StarsErrol 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.
DVD Review: Captain Blood Summary: 4 StarsI 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..
Description of Captain BloodAN ENSLAVED ENGLISH DOCTOR AND HIS COMRADES IN CHAINS ESCAPE ANDBECOME PIRATES OF THE ROBIN HOOD VARIETY The 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
