i have always be a huge fan of flynn movie . when he be into the role and he be as good an actor a anybody . of his swashbuckler and the big three be always captain blood and the adventure of robin hood and the sea hawk . but two movie often omit from a list of his best be the adventure of don juan and the master of ballantrae . don juan be a movie in the vein of burt lancaster crimson pirate or the flame and the arrow and be a tongue in cheek swashbuckler that score on several point . flynn be clearly comfortable with light comedy while it feature some great bad guy work by robert douglas while and and despite production problem cause by flynn excess and the editing in of sequence from robin hood and elizabeth and essex work very well . the fencing scene be thoroughly enjoyable . all in all and i would recommend this film to anybody who be a fan of the genre .
