Has no one caught that the description is wrong? Michael Curtiz directed this film, NOT Jack Warner. Jack Warner was many things, but he was no director...
Michael Curtiz NEVER made a bad movie, in fact, he directed many CLASSICS, from the original "House of Wax" ("Mystery of the Wax Museum") to "The Adventures of Robin Hood", "The Charge of the Light Brigade" and "CASABLANCA"......
Whoever the actress is who plays Queen Elizabeth, she's the BEST at the role. I've seen her in several pirate films and there's no one like her. Who is she?
My mum loooooooves Errol Flynn...Robin Hood's her favourite, but this is great film - one you can watch again and again. The ending makes you proud to be British! :)
"Build a fleet...as if I didn't have enough demands on my treasury" 4:39 Todays British government have just got rid of an aircraft carrier because it cost too much money...Funny how history repeats itself.
Yes I loved these old movies too growing up. The ever dashing Errol Flynn and his merry men! Thanks for posting this. It's been a very long time since I have seen this movie. Good luck trying to romance Donna Maria!!
Errol's performance in this film reflects just about the best acting he ever delivered. Who would have thought that the confident hero of so many other films could play a shy and humble man with such percision.
@Bigqwertyuo1 I don't know about that. Flynn had a healthy sense of humour about himself and I'm pretty certain he would have enjoyed the joke of Thorpe going all wobbly when confronted by Donna Maria.
@DOMuricu I wasn't talking about Flynn - I meant the person who had to make it look right. Who had to make Errol Flynn look nervous with ladies. Just the irony amused me.
@Bigqwertyuo1 I'm not sure exactly what Flynn's general public perception was before the 1940's, when his reputaton as a rogue really got started. I'm sure he was seen as a sex-symbol and action-man, but I don't know if there was necessarily the immediate perception that he was a ladies man as such.
@eflynn765 I agree. Flynn was underated in terms of his ability as an actor. Maybe he didn't have the discipline and focus to really become the actor he wanted to be, but his performances in the swashbuckler's show a natural ability and a wonderfully engaging presence.

Lovely, toothy grin when the Queen makes her joke about the relative speed of Spanish and English ships.
