He is beside himself with anger that evidently a remake of Captain Blood is in the works. Worst of all for him is that it's being reimagined as science fiction and will take place in space.<br /><br />This one is all about the adventure. It's not supposed to be real; it's supposed to be exciting and fun. And boy, is it ever!SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-76128748226260377482013-05-28T19:38:02.206+03:002013-05-28T19:38:02.206+03:00Yup.

I did not know the same was true for Rathbone, but it makes sense. Sparks were flying in that duel.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-71313630776540488172013-05-28T19:16:15.319+03:002013-05-28T19:16:15.319+03:00You really captured the film for me.

I had heard of the film, and that it was the quintessential Errol Flynn performance, but I don't know that I would have ever gotten around to seeing it if I hadn't been working on the list.<br /><br />The other thing I can appreciate is the great swordplay from both Flynn and Rathbone. Both were said to be good enough that if they really worked at it they could have actually competed at it, especially Rathbone. Was it any wonder that they put them together again in Robin Hood?Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
