Everything about Captain Blood 1935 Film totally explained
Captain Blood is a
1935 swashbuckling film made by
First National Pictures and
Warner Brothers. It was directed by
Michael Curtiz and produced by
Harry Joe Brown and
Gordon Hollingshead with
Hal B. Wallis as executive producer. The
screenplay, written by
Casey Robinson, is based on the
novel of the same name by
Rafael Sabatini. It features a stirring musical score by
Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Some of the impressive sea-battle footage was taken from
The Sea Hawk (
1924) (not to be confused with Flynn's
1940 film
of the same name).
The film stars
Errol Flynn,
Olivia de Havilland with
Lionel Atwill and
Basil Rathbone. It was the first of eight films co-starring De Havilland and Flynn, and in
1938, the two would be re-united with Rathbone in
The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Plot
In
seventeenth century England, Irish Dr. Peter Blood (Errol Flynn) is convicted of
treason against the King for aiding a wounded friend who had participated in the
Monmouth Rebellion. He is sold into
slavery, and purchased by the beautiful Arabella Bishop (Olivia de Havilland). Doctor Blood and his fellow slaves escape, steal a
Spanish ship and begin a life of
piracy.
Award nominations
The movie was nominated for the
Academy Award for Best Picture and, despite not being nominated, Michael Curtiz received the second-greatest number of votes for
Best Director, solely as a
write-in candidate. Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Casey Robinson also failed to be nominated and also received substantially more votes for their work on this film than most of the official nominees.
