Customer Reviews

More fun than I remembered.

Peter Blood, being a doctor, upholds his Hippocratic Oath, and for that, the King banishes him to a Jamaican plantation and makes 20 pounds in the bargain. It turns out that Dr. Blood does not appreciate being sold. However, he is enamored of his new master. I will not go into the details, as it is fun to be surprised as the story unfolds. I can tell you that he intended to be a pirate captain and come up against the French pirate captain Levasseur (Basil Rathbone). It seems that Errol Flynn is always coming up against Basil Rathbone sword in hand. Come to think of it, Errol Flynn seems to come up against Olivia De Havilland in quite a few movies. This just happens to be one of my favorites. I can watch it over and over. I am starting to remember the dialogue. The film on the DVD is cleaned up quite well. The DVD extras are also fun to watch and add a different view of the movie. My next plan is to read the book by Rafael Sabatini.
