Fortunes of Captain Blood (1950)
Louis Hayward stars as Captain Peter Blood in this classic swash buckler.
Centering around Blood freeing some of his men from a prison on Tortuga this is good escapist fun and i imagine quite thrilling for it's time with several sword fights and a well produced ship skirmish as a finale.
Hayward may not be Errol Flynn when it came to leading men but he does a good job here and copes well with the athleticism of the sword play.
