To be honest, I remember being slightly (and perhaps unfairly) underwhelmed by this film--but only because I saw it immediately after Captain Blood, which I thought was better.

I remember seeing it when I was still in high school, spending most of my 20s wondering if it was as good as I remembered, then saw it again on cable in the wake of the Kevin Costner version and found it remarkably more watchable than the more modern version. But then I never saw Captain Blood. ;-)

Plus an excerpt from this flick turns up in an old Bugs Bunny cartoon. You can't ask for a bigger endorsement than that.;-)

The Rafael Sabatini novel is great, too. Yay swashbuckling pirates!

This is still the Robin Hood to beat. Historically inaccurate, obviously shot in SoCal . . . but it's hard to care, because it's such an exuberant old-school adventure. Just look at the vivid technicolor bursting from the screen, then go look at the grim monochrome of the trailers for the new Scott/Crowe Robin Hood. Tough to compare.
