	Captain Blood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Captain Blood is an adventure novel by Rafael Sabatini, originally published in 1922.
		It concerns the sharp-witted Dr. Peter Blood, an Irish physician, who is convicted of treason in the aftermath of the Monmouth rebellion in 1685, and enslaved on the Caribbean island of Barbados.
		The Monmouth rebels were sold into slavery as described in the book; Blood's pirate adventures and subsequent career borrow heavily from those of Sir Henry Morgan; and the shifting political alliances of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 are used in the novel as a plot device to allow Blood's return to respectability.

	Captain Blood - Rafael Sabatini
		Blood is not actively involved, but he is called to tend to one of the wounded -- and promptly arrested for his trouble.
		Captain Blood joins forces with others -- fellow pirate Captain Levasseur, for example -- and he then even goes into service of the King of France, but these alliances collapse because of the base, mean, and duplicitous actions of those he is forced to rely on.
		Captain Blood is a bit too good to be true: he is always the gentleman and certainly no rogue.

	Captain Blood
		Blood's partnership with his French opposite number has gone sour, though, and he duels the French pirate captain for possession of Miss Bishop and her companion, an English lord with some surprising news for Blood.
		Blood defeats the French and is declared Governor, much to the consternation of Colonel Bishop, the governor he unseats.
		High Adventure: Captain Blood is one of the liveliest adventures that Hollywood ever produced, populated by a sterling cast of supporting players (including such great character actors as Lionel Atwill and Basil Rathbone at his villainous best) and by the first teaming of Errol Flynn and Olivia De Haviland.

	Captain Blood
		Blood explains to his lippy maid that he has had his share of fighting from back when he did a six year tour in Vietnam and that now he is a healer and not a slayer.
		Blood gets caught up in all this and is arrested with everyone else and when he's brought to trial he's the only guy that pleads not guilty.
		This is a film that anyone who has even the slightest itch to see derring-do, guys swinging on ropes, and larger than life heroes should not miss.

		Captain Blood made stars of Flynn and de Havilland and catapulted Curtiz to the top ranks of Warner directors.
		Michael Curtiz and MGM were not able to get the actors they wanted for the part of Captain Blood (at the top of the list was Robert Donat), and took an enormous risk in hiring this unknown, inexperienced young man, as the star of the film.
		"And thus Captain Blood began his piracy...with a ship, a handful of men, and a brain." Basil Rathbone is marvelous as the bad guy Captain Levasseur, and the swordplay on a rocky shore between Blood and Levasseur (Laguna Beach substituting for Jamaica) is superb.

	The Role of the Pirate in Captain Blood - Buccaneering as Transgressive Political Action in the Swashbuckling Film?
		The film begins in the year 1685 and Captain Blood (Errol Flynn) is introduced as Dr. Peter Blood, a small town physician who confesses to being a 'healer not a slayer'.
		In the final scenes in the film Blood is installed as the new governor of Port Royal – this being the indication that Blood is at least in part modelled on Henry Morgan (5) and reason enough for Arabella to now stand by his side.
		With Blood as governor and his English shipmates commissioned to the navy we are left with the absurd situation of an opportunistic, apolitical Irishman in a position of power within a system that is antithetical to many of his countrymen still to this day.

	Erich Wolfgang KORNGOLD Captain Blood: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews July 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		(The film was set in the time of Charles II of England.) The music, though, is racy enough with plenty of swagger and pomp together with Rózsa's typically broad romantic melodies.
		Erich Wolfgang Korngold is represented by his score for the film that made Errol Flynn famous – Captain Blood.
		Noteworthy, too, is the music underscoring the developing relationship between Blood and Arabella (Olivia de Havilland) the headstrong niece of the Jamaican governor as it passes through tentative, then turbulent and finally submissive phases.

		Blood sees no contradiction in offering aid to an injured man, but the English soldiers who arrest him insist he is a traitor to the Stuart monarchy.
		A few improbabilities mar the otherwise pristine veneer of "Captain Blood." There are certain battles that take place on the high seas that would make it impossible for Blood to accomplish the sort of things he pulls off.
		"Captain Blood" is a great way to pass a few hours and undeniably beats spending a like amount of time watching mindless sitcoms on television.

	Captain Blood - Music from the Movies
		Captain Blood, besides being the film that launched the career of Errol Flynn, is Korngold's first original score.
		A brass fanfare with tremolo strings, signifying Blood's dominance of the seas, gives way seamlessly to a glorious statement of the love theme as Flynn and Olivia De Havilland gaze out from their respective vessels, each thinking of the other, but unaware that their ships are almost literally passing in the night.
		Taken as a whole, Captain Blood is an extremely significant and, more importantly, enjoyable soundtrack whose survival in complete form is an unexpected delight.

		The history of Dr. Peter Blood, Sabatini's gentleman corsair, is treated with visual beauty and a fine, swaggering arrogance in the new screen version of "Captain Blood" at the Strand Theatre.
		Providing a properly picturesque background for Dr. Blood's piratical career, the Warner Brothers skillfully reconstruct the England of the sanguinary Monmouth uprising, the West Indies of tortured slaves and savage masters, and the ships that sailed the Spanish Main flying the jolly roger.
		Lionel Atwill, as the cruel governor of Port Royal, is as thorough a knave as Peter Blood is a gentleman.

		The second part has the plot of the chapter "Blank Shot" (first chapter of the "Chronicles of Captain Blood") only the character of Easterling is renamed Levasseur - so the screenwriters united two villains of the story into one character.

		This film contains some great actors, De Niro is unquestionably one of if not the greatest character actor of his generation, and yet is still inexorably drawn to mush like this in which he is evidentally encouraged to shout rather than characterize.
		Gripes aside their performances are not all that bad asand to be honest neither is the rest of the film.
		It is really not that bad a film it's just really that it happens to be more than slightly clichéd especially when banging on about the eponymous honour.

		Relying on his formidable nerve and wit, he escapes and soon becomes a feared pirate known as Captain Blood, a brilliant swordsman and seaman whose fiercely loyal crew is made up of runaway slaves grateful to him for winning their freedom.
		Olivia de Havilland, in the first of eight films starring opposite Flynn, is alluring as Arabella Bishop, the dashing pirate captain's romantic interest.
		Lionel Atwill, famed for his demented performances in horror films, is satisfyingly despicable as Arabella's uncle, a despotic plantation owner.

		Gerhardt's interpretations of these selections from great film composers (there's a whole series, see my other recommendations) are stunning, true to the original recordings, with all the passion and grandeur that they deserve without having to conform to a) screen timing, and b) the limitations of monaural optical film soundtrack methods of the time.
		Now film fans can hear these magnificent scores in their full stereo sound, unlike the original scores which were mono track for the films.

		The highlight of the film is the duel between Captain Blood and Levasseur, which resulted in Levasseur's death.

	National Philharmonic Orchestra : Captain Blood: Classic Film Scores for Errol Flynn - Listen, Review and Buy at ...
		Aiding and abetting his career most of the way was some of the finest action film scoring in the history of cinema, usually provided by Erich Wolfgang Korngold or, on occasion, Max Steiner, the reigning musical deities at Warner Bros., where Flynn made most of his career.
		Their best work on his behalf, along with that of Hugo Friedhofer on the late-career vehicle The Sun Also Rises, is represented on this 55-minute CD conducted by film music specialist Charles Gerhardt.
		Steiner's music for The Adventures of Don Juan is a pleasant surprise, offering some of the boldness and invention that one associated with Korngold, and a richness in the scoring that allows it to hold up as freestanding music across 60 years.

		The film's budget was clearly limited (there's a stark absence of horizons in the tropic and seagoing scenes), but director Curtiz's camerawork cunningly evokes the ever-present tilting and rolling of life aboard ship.
		Can't remember which of his films I saw first on television years ago (though my little grey brain cells keep whispering "They Died With Their Boots On"), but whatever it was, it made me instantly a Flynn junkie and I have remained so ever since.
		But "Captain Blood", "The Sea Hawk", "They Died With Their Boots On" and "Dodge City" show perfectly what it was he did...and how he did it...that let him charm America and the world.
