Description:
CAPTAIN BLOOD (1935):
This is the story of Dr. Peter Blood, and english surgeon who is sold into slavery in the West Indies after treating the leader of the rebellion against King James II. Bought by the beautiful Arabella, Blood leads a revolt with his fellow prisoners and escapes. Seeking retribution, he turns his fellow escapees into a private crew with himself as the elader - Captain Blood.

SEA HAWK (1940):
109 minutes
Cannons thunder, blades clatter and Erich Wolfgang Korngolds incomparable music swirls and flourishes in The Sea Hawk. In one of his best roles, Errol Flynn plays Capt. Geoffrey Thorpe, who commandeers a 40-gun galleon, endures captivity, and then boldly escapes to warn England of Spains armada. Working on his 10th of 12 movies with Flynn, Michael Curtiz (Casablanca) masterfully directs the films blend of royal intrigue and derring-do heroics made on a then-lavish $1.7-million scale that included construction of two full-sized ships. The film was stirringly topical in its day. When Queen Elizabeth (Flora Robson) exhorts her country to maintain fighting readiness against tyranny now and forever, audiences knew forever had come: Hitler had launched his World War II air siege of England.
