Captain Blood is described as a ‘swashbuckling leader of a pirate horde and devil-may-care philanderer’, and Errol Flynn perfectly inhabits the role in his film debut, even throwing in a trace of his Aussie accent.
This film is brimming with swordfights, sea battles, and daring escapes, cementing it as a classic of the adventure genre.
‘…the Warner Brothers skilfully reconstruct the England of the sanguinary Monmouth uprising, the West Indies of tortured slaves and savage masters, and the ships that sailed the Spanish Main flying the jolly roger.’ – The New York Times
