I've loved this movie for so long it's practically in my DNA, so it's impossible for me to be objective about it. I can see how its broadness, and Flynn's brash, cocky, confident manner, could be off-putting for some people. That's part of the movie, and Flynn's, appeal to me. He's one of those actors that looks like he's not working hard at all, that what he does is easy, but it's really not, and very few have ever been able to pull it off.<br /><br />I'm going to go ahead and recommend some Errol Flynn films to you, in the hopes that you might come around to appreciating him more. GENTLEMAN JIM, about the early boxing champ, is a terrific light-hearted period drama. ROCKY MOUNTAIN is a tough, spare, rather noirish western made late in his career. CAPTAIN BLOOD, THE SEA HAWK, NORTHERN PURSUIT and THE DAWN PATROL are among his more famous films and all deserve their reputations.Jeff Flugelhttp://thestalkingmoon.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.com
