Description

"Aye, me Buckos!" Errol Flynn ("The Adventures of Robin Hood," "The Dawn Patrol") made his swashbuckling debut as a dashing young Irish physician who is exiled into slavery by a tyrannical governor. Forced into piracy, he ultimately earns his freedom and the love of a proper lady, played by Oscar-winner Olivia de Havilland ("Gone With the Wind," "To Each His Own"). Co-stars Oscar-nominee Basil Rathbone ("The Adventures of Robin Hood," "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes") as a cutthroat French pirate. The action-packed film that launched both Flynn's and de Havilland's incredible careers. A huge commercial success, it was nominated for Best Picture. Directed by Academy Award-winner Michael Curtiz ("Casablanca," "Yankee Doodle Dandy").

    A true masterpiece of cinema that works well today as it did back in the 30's. It launched Errol Flynn's career into super stardom. The iPod down load is great. Picture is crystal clear. I hope more of his movies make it here. This is a bit of golden age of cinema you just can't miss.
