Captain Blood

CFF-PG certification
CELEBRATING WARNER BROS.
Director: Michael Curtiz. Starring: Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Lionel Atwill.
USA, 1935. 119 mins. English.
A swashbuckling adventure, CAPTAIN BLOOD stars Errol Flynn as Dr Blood, convicted of treason and sold into slavery. Dr Blood leads a mutiny of the slaves on a Spanish ship and under his leadership the slaves make a name for themselves as buccaneers on the Caribbean seas. With an astonishing score by Erich Korngold, superb swordplay and an adrenaline-fuelled performance by the effusive Flynn which propelled him to superstardom, the film is a highly enjoyable romp through the high seas. Pieces of eight!
