While this isn't my favorite Flynn film, it is certainly worth watching. A fair amount of action, lots of sparkling eye stuff from Flynn, ripped white frilly shirts; everything you would expect is here. I will say that while Olivia De Haviland was certainly beautiful, she doesn't quite fit this part. However, my personal favorite actors from the time period, Claude Rains and Basil Rathbone, more than make up for it. Rathbone is fantastic as Captain Blood's partner/nemesis Levasseur, and frankly needs more screen time than he gets. Some great dialogue spread out amidst some mediocre dialogue. I liked it, but Sea Hawk was better.
