Captain Blood
Errol Flynn shines in the swashbuckling stunner that made him a superstar, a high seas adventure buoyed by its lead’s radiant charisma. Flynn stars as Irish doctor Peter Blood, convicted of treason in 17th century England for treating English rebels, then sentenced to slavery in Jamaica. There he catches the eye of the governor’s daughter (Olivia de Havilland), leads an escape, and achieves fame & fortune as the notorious Captain Blood. But as French warships approach the colony, their dreaded pirate menace may be their only hope for survival. Nominated for 5 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Michael Curtiz).
