Captain Blood (1935)

In Michael Curtiz' tremendous swashbuckler adventure film:

  • the romance between Capt. Peter Blood (Errol Flynn in a star-making role) and the lovely Arabella Bishop (Olivia de Havilland) - the stars' first romantic teaming
  • the exciting naval battle sequences and bombardments
  • the trademark sword duel to the death between Capt. Blood and French pirate Levasseur (Basil Rathbone) on the beach; the pirate succumbed to a blow to the chest, fell to the ground, and a wave washed over him

(Olivia de Havilland)
