Aside from the film, the DVD also features the 23 minute feature about the making of the film and how two stars were made overnight. Errol and Olivia made a great team and the chemistry is evident right from the start. You can't watch that auction scene without recognizing it!! And Erich Wolfgang Korngold's score gets the whole story off to a rousing start. Incredibly entertaining all the way through. CAPTAIN BLOOD is a swashbuckling joy.

I stumbled upon this blog after doing a google search for Jennifer Connelly. This blog rules, great movie choices imo. First the Sure Thing, now Captain Blood, and Adventures of Robin Hood? You've even had a couple quite interesting 80's flicks I'd like to check out. I have been interested on seeing Sword and the Sorcerer for a while and I'm more inspired to check it out now. Anyway, I agree that Captain Blood is an amazing flick. Errol Flynn's star quality and charisma is off the charts. It's so easy to see why this film made him an overnight superstar. You can really believe that those men would follow him to the ends of the earth. And Olivia is positively radiant. She just glows. Their chemistry really does leap off the screen. And I agree it's a fantastic pirate movie, with action, adventure, AND character development. Great character actors as well. Love this movie! Only pales slightly as action/adventure in comparison to the other Curtiz/Flynn/DeHavilland vehicle, Adventures of Robin Hood, which I see you've also reviewed! Wow.
