they truly do not make em like this anymore ( more the pity ) . errol flynn play the role he spend his whole life training for don juan in this spectacular warner brother adventure film . there be so much to recommend this film while it a shame american audience do not respond to it the way european audience do at it initial release . flynn do his best work in year a don juan and ably support by perennial sidekick alan hale and robert douglas a the evil duke de lorca . the costume be amaze and the set splendid and the technicolor never look well but to top it all off and the swordplay and choreograph by the legendary maestro fred cavens ( adventure of robin hood and the mark of zorro ) be second to none . from the brief duel with jealous husband to the scene in the fencing academy to the final rapier and dagger brawl ( cap by a spectacular leap perform by stuntman jock mahoney ) the sword work here be awesome . ( btw and historical fencing fan should note the use of thibaults mysterious circle on the wall of the fencing school and completely appropriate since this be the spanish school of rapier play ) . future perry mason raymond burr have a memorable role a one of the villain in this court intrigue adventure and and viveca lindfors be excellent a the queen and but it be flynn and with his wit and panache and blade skill and who dominate and just a it should be . for terrific entertainment in the classic hollywood tradition and take a look at the adventure of don juan . update 2/9/07 this film will soon be available on a new dvd in the second errol flynn collection box set and along with another good flynn film and the dawn patrol .
