The modern day treasure hunters will be disappointed when they discover this Spanish galleon.

@featheredhorse Thank You! That's been bugging me for years. A First class actress, by the way.

[featheredhorse]

@skudaarkaat1 That is Flora Robson. She also played Elizabeth I in Fire Over England.

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"......

If someone has already pointed this out....OOOPS!

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! :)

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

"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.

One of the best sailing ship sea battles to come out of Hollywood.

@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.

@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.
