Warner Brothers couldn't have picked a better actor to play "Captain Blood" in the 1935 swashbuckler. As Captain Peter Blood he takes over the movie as a daring pirate. It was his first big role and it led to all the other great Errol Flynn action movies. Olivia de Havilland plays Arabella Bishop who purchases Errol Flynn after he was captured. Basil Rathbone plays a ruthless pirate and has a great duel with Errol Flynn. Directed by Michael Curtiz he should get credit for the great cast he assembled. He also took a rookie actor in Errol Flynn and trained him to command the screen. This is a wonderful movie that they just don't make any more. High adventure on the high seas!
