Movie Review: Captain Blood
Errol Flynn sure was a pretty boy. Almost as pretty as his co-star Olivia de Havilland. Do listen to the bonus features of an interview at the premier. While i enjoyed the film, the bonuses make it even more interesting.
Blood starts his life as a physician who treats men opposing King James and is arrested and treated as an enemy. He and the men he's with escape from prison just as Spanish ships arrive to capture the colony. Blood and his crew steal an attacking ship and become cooperative pirates. Each man gets a share of the plunder.
For the age, this film holds up beaitufully. Look in Myrtle Point for the DVD and Coos Bay for the VHS.
