Yep. I watch it every time it comes on the telly. Really, I watch anything with Errol Flynn or Basil Rathbone. The movies they did together? I watched those more than Saturday Morning Cartoons. Okay, okay, okay. I would have had I been a child in the days of DVDs, On Demand, or Streaming.
That reminds me, I ought to go back re-read Sabatini's novels Captain Blood and Scaramouche.

I love Errol Flynn. Even named the unicorn in the Persephone Alcmedi series Errol. :) Ahhh. I love him in Captain Blood. (Even though those are the /cleanest pirates ever, and when they are burning up in the hold of the ship none take their shirts off--testament to the silver screen not showing naked man chest or expecting audiences to find dirty pirates realistic with their sensitive eyeballs...) And in Robin Hood with Olivia de Haviland. **get copy of Captain Blood out, puts in DVD...*
ReplyDeleteHave you tuned into Black Sails on Starz? Now those guys (and gals)... Well, you'll never think of Black Beard the same again. ~brow waggle~

I love Errol Flynn as Robin Hood - he was THE Robin Hood of all time for me. But Captain Blood is good, very good....
