This is another Errol Flynn adventure movie, and holds up about as well as you’d expect. It’s a sweeping adventure with swordplay, romance, and a comical grin. The film’s story is much more sluggish than its peers, ending up with minimal swashbuckling and rope-swinging and filling the gaps with obvious and dry intrigue. You could do a whole lot worse than this, but it pales in comparison to Robin Hood and Captain Blood.

Closest comparison: It’s like The Adventures of Robin Hood by way of Captain Blood.

Setting: Globetrotting Adventure
Plot: Romantic Adventure
