There Will Be Blood

Captain Blood, the one that started it all - the breakthrough roles for Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland and the first of their eight films together. The picture which saw the first of eleven films Flynn would make with director Michael Curtiz and the movie which helped establish Erich Wolfgang Korngold as one of Hollywood’s greatest composers. Captain Blood ushered in a new era for the swash... read more

Description: In the classic swashbuckling epic that catapulted him to worldwide stardom, Errol Flynn plays Dr. Peter Blood, an English physician unjustly convicted of treason and sentenced to slavery in the West Indies. Relying on his formidable nerve and wit, he escapes and soon becomes a feared pirate known as Captain Blood, a brilliant swordsman and seaman whose fiercely loyal crew is made up of runaway slaves grateful to him for winning their freedom. Olivia de Havilland, in the first of eight films starring opposite Flynn, is alluring as Arabella Bishop, the dashing pirate captain's romantic interest. Lionel Atwill, famed for his dement ...

"6.8. 2020 A doctor becomes a vengeful and influential pirate after escaping from slavery. Curtiz's adventure film is a pleasantly balanced and still entertaining classic. The film tells that even though the pirates were obviously savages and they did many condemnable things, they were still just small-time criminals compared to the bloodthirsty political leaders with much more power."

"26.7. Muistelut jatkuivat, kun tieto Olivia de Havillandin poismenosta tuli julkisuuteen joitain tunteja John Saxon -rituaalin jälkeen. Vaikka nykyisin en enää ollenkaan jaksa innostua vanhan liiton Hollywoodista, toimivat poikain seikkailut näköjään edelleen, minkä Captain Blood niin mallikkaasti todisti. Errol Flynnin ensimmäisessä Hollywood-swashbucklerissa nuori pääpari on suloisimmillaan samalla, kun vielä viiksetön virnuniekka hyppii kannelta toiselle ja näyttää Basil Ra"

"Errol Flynn is great in this sweeping epic of a man on a mission of revenge, fortune and love. The lovely Olivia de Havilland is also great. Curtis shows early on his abilities as a director, and will end up being one of the greats of the era."
