Captain Blood In 102 Words Exactly
Every movie involving pirates and/or the high seas owes a debt of gratitude to Errol Flynn's Captain Blood. That's a lot of movies, since Captain Blood was released during the Great Depression (1935 to be exact). It's the spiritual godfather to recent flicks set on the seven seas, and it's influence can be seen crystal clear in the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean and Peter Weir's Master and Commander. Legendary director Michael Curtiz (he is a legend, google him) directed a rousing swashbuckling adventure, full of the high adventure, romance, and melodrama you'd want in an 80 year old buccaneer tale.
