- After the Duke de Lorca(Robert Douglas) usurps the Castle, Don Juan(Errol Flynn) and his friends mount a rescue and retake on the Castle, he has to fight Don Rodrigo(Douglas Kennedy) and the treacherous Duke de Lorca himself to free Monarch and Castle.
"This time, I'm wearing my old clothes." Have always remembered that line.
I was very pleased to have called Robert Douglas (Duke de Lorca) my friend for the last fifteen years of his life (he died at age 89 in 1999). He had a full career first as a film actor and later a TV Director primarily for Quinn Martin Productions. A lovely , vibrant man who enjoyed a hearty laugh and a cold beer. RIP!
I think I read somewhere he was an excellent fencer.
Yes, Sir Robert passed away in Encinitas, California, an amazing city on the Ocean who I visited in two different times, in year 2005 and 2008
I thought he was perfect for the bad guy role. Such a terrific actor and movie.
@@Mr_Kenneth. A good means he is able to recreate both, good and bad guys. He was good in this film but somehow I have not seen him yet in any other movies.
@@johnfalstaff2270 I think he was in The Flame and the Arrow with Burt Lancaster.
Nothing beats those old cloak and dagger films. Errol Flynn was the man!
Swashbuckler
Errol Flynn was a great actor and swordsman, but I always thought Basil Rathbone was better as a ‘swashbuckler’ type actor in the golden age of movies as he was an olympic swordsman and Shakespearian actor as well. You can’t go wrong chosing a movie with both Errol and Basil in it.
omg amazing! this is the most intense sword fight! definitely surpasses cinematic sword fights in recent memory
Don't forget the 1940 movie The Mark of Zorro.
I thought the two leading actors sword fighting was much more faster and exciting.
@@douglasmansfield656 but Mark of Zorro was also sped up if I remember correctly, still a great scene though.
@@malafakka8530 Both Basil Rathbone, and Tyrone Power were excellent fencers.
One of the best cinema sword fights is considered to be that between Stewart Granger and Mel Ferrer in the finale of the 1952 'Scaramouche'.
As a foreigner I only heard of Don Juan (some would say Don Giovanni)'s notorious reputation as a ladies' man, but this film made me the first time to actually see the character. Great acting, Errol Flynn! =)
I really missed movies like these
This is a very under-rated Errol Flynn film, it's just as entertaining as his earlier films and the fact that he is getting on a bit suits the character of Don Juan.
Robert Boyle No cutting of Candles though, disappointing.
Krister Andersson Yes that's true but we can't have everything!
Robert Boyle Well I have not seen this film Before and I saw this clip and there were a lot of Candles and a swordfight so candlecutting.
I love watching these old Swashbuckling film's, never gets old.
got an academy award for best costume design.
These sets are gorgeous. Costumes too
Flynn had a unique grimace just before he ever did something deadly...in many of his later films...he was amazingly convincing.
it was real.
Erroll actually had deep medical problems with his heart. He even fainted on set at one other time during filming. Finally he passed away due to heart attack in 1959 in Vancouver, BC.
Apparently, when Flynn was a very young man, he had malaria, and the effecs of it plagued him for the rest of his life. Also, he did lead a rather dissilute existence. Still what a swashbuckler! I adore all of his movies,and have since I was a little kid.
A Great Story, Played by a Great Actor, Accompanied by a Great Score. Errol Flynn remains the Greatest Swashbuckler!
Not one but one of many.
Good job Errol. R.I.P.
What an exciting film this is!
there are only a handful of really good on screen sword fights and this is one of them
(most are Flynn movies) - the Tyrone Power version of Zorro has an excellent sword fight too
this film has loads of great action - a personal favorite along with Sea Hawk and Robin Hood - Errol Flynn - King of the Swashbucklers!
Robin vs Sir Guy..
Best swordfight ever was STEWART GRANGER & MEL FERRER in 1952 "SCARAMOUCH'
@@brettchristiansen7022 I watched that film recently and whilst the clown scenes were a bit boring most of it was fantastic!
Black Sails (very recent) and Pirates of the Caribbean are the best modern on screen sword fights. They don't often do it like they used to when actors actually knew how to fence
I go with the Tyrone Power-Basil Rathbone duel in "The Mark Of Zorro". The frequent clattering of the epees was so spectacular, the sequence didn't require any musical accompaniment!
Spectacular!🙏🏽
if you watch the leap that Flynn does from the steps towards the end of the clip its absolutely huge - incredible stunt!
The leap you wrote of is incredible, but the actual leap wasn't Flynn but stuntman/actor Jock Mahoney. This can be verified, just check it out. That's not to shortchange Flynn, who was top notch in this under rated film!
@@AladdinSaneNYC I thought as much ! But I expected to see a lot more stunt doubling for Flynn which there isn’t. There’s no crafty shying away from shots of the swordplay - like you I’m amazingly impressed that Flynn’s swordplay was still so quick and deft, even at this stage when he can’t have been in top shape and he hadn’t done a swashbuckler for quite a few years
I seem to remember a similar but even more impressive leap in the silent film version.
@@itzakpoelzig330 John Barrymore as Don Juan & he did the leap himself.
Fred Cavens the fencing choreographer here actually doubled for Robert Douglas.
So many people say that Errol was past it in this film, and although he definitely looks older than his 39 years, he was still so very sexy. Such a great duelling scene!
He made that 14 foot leap onto Robert Douglas himself!
no it was jock mahoney
In the long shots & when Don Juan has his back to the camera its a double Errol's lifestyle had caught up with him.
Yeah he was bloated in his face puffy around the eyes from drink. But he still delivered
Dear CN as a further postscript to Flynn's sad passing Olivia de Havilland-probably his BEST leading lady- said she took her son to a movie revival of ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD and really appreciated how great the film was She sat down to write Flynn a note but hesitated sending it He died not too long afterwards and de Haviiland regretted not sending the note...
Errol Flynn the best actor movie accion
As a qualified Fencing Instuctress,rest assured that this combat is both meticulous and accurate in its depiction of movement of the rapiers!!Unlike today's blusterers whom can talk an intention but cannot deliver the swordsmanship!!
Uhhhh, not really....it's too much like bad sabre.
Waving butter knives at each other
Does your arse ever get jealous about the amount of shit that comes out of your mouth!!
famous scene and wonderful film
Classic sword fighting at its best:)
The music was great!
Insurmountable!
I understand it was Jock Mahoney, stunt man extraordinaire, who did the jump at the end.
A much under-rated movie, one of director George Sherman`s best and certainly Flynn`s last great swashbuckler for his old studio. The info under the title says the villain is Douglas Kennedy but this is not correct - it is Robert Douglas, Britain`s best costume villain of the early 1950s (and also a splendid Black Michael opposite James Mason in the remake of the Prisoner of Zenda).
Douglass Kennedy is Duc de Lorca's henchman, Rodrigo.
I thought she was recording it with her phone then i realized she wouldn't be on one.
hahah I too
That's too funny, I had the same reaction.
It does look like she has a cell phone
Flynn was only 37 when this was made. The first of his scenes shot was the final one, where he looks considerably better. Apparently his latest movie had got bad reviews and he drank during the rest of the production as a result. It's not a bad film at all, but it isn't up to the standard of 'Captain Blood', 'The Sea Hawk', or 'T.A.O.R.H.', apart from Steiner's music, the photography and some of the sets. It's fun, but not the kind of genuinely memorable films I mentioned. Flynn and Fairbanks are still the two great swashbucklers (no disrespect meant to the other actors who have appeared in this kind of film - as good as they were at times, both Flynn and Fairbanks had something unique).
Flynn at his best !!!!
With all due respect, the leap was done by stuntman Jock Mahoney :) ... This was and still is a wonderful film !
Yes indeed and Fred Cavens himself Doubled for some of Robert Douglas' parts, probably the fall down the stairs.
It's not correct ... Douglas was an excellent fencer, He was not doubled by Fred Cavens in fight sword scenes.
Errol was doubled in the long shots & when his back was to the camera.As his lifestyle had caught up with him.
@@thelostsardinia5946 Cavens doubled Douglas when the camera was behind Douglas.
@@swordfightsgalore2321 if you check all of the sequences you can see Robert Douglas in every part of sword duel, Cavens supports him during the filming but he did'nt double Douglas... is the evidence of the images ... You can see in fact that in the scenes from behind, he maintains the same height and build
THEY JUST DONT WRITE DIALOG LIKE THIS ANY MORE.
Dialogue.
Whey don’t they make movies like this any more?
Hahaha, I was sure since this is Don Juan that the statue was going to come to life
The last of Flynn's classic 'GOLDEN AGE OF HOLLYWOOD" swashbucklers with an evil and sneering Robert Douglas standing in for Rathbone/Daniell and Steiner's score up to the great standards of Korngold...Sad to see the fast life was starting to catch up to Flynn-his Don Juan was more than just typecasting,,The actress who plays the damsel in distress was Viveca Lindfors whom Warners hoped would be another Ingrid Bergman..
Keith Brown Actually, he was in three more swashbucklers after this; The Master of Ballantrae, The Golden Blade(called Crossed Swords in the US) and The Dark Avenger(called The Warriors in the US).
ChaoticNarrative Dear CN Thanks for the reply Of those three European productions my favorite is THE WARRIORS where Flynn seems to be his old self-not to mention the villainy of Peter Finch and their duel on the castle ramparts As much as Flynn chaffed at being under Warners Bros control-they mounted his productions with style Too bad he could not finish his WILLIAM TELL (Warners did an ersatz version FLAME AND THE ARROW with Burt Lancaster which might have gone to Flynn Not to mention CAPTAIN HORATIO HORNNBLOWER-which went to Greg Peck...
Indeed, Truly Flynn died far too young, he was only 50, the sad thing is, he brought it on himself with his alcohol abuse, some of it stemmed from his youthful adventures too, upon autopsy, the cause of death was to do with his heart but his other organs were all banged up and diseased too, he was a walking time bomb, 'tis truly a sad affair.
ChaoticNarrative I replied to your last response -in regaard to Flynn's passing- but clicked the wrong key
None of us live forever, and Flynn did so much living in those 50 years most of us can only dream of.
The bad guy had a bad ass outfit.
By far the bench mark for sword fighting music, this score even led me to a man who would become one of my dearest friends of my life, I had at first thought the music came from the Movie Against All Flag's ,The score it seems has also been used in a few other movies, The Goonies and Zorro the Gay blade.
Don Juan is not Spanish! He's Australian-born! Ha ha ha!
they dont make them like this anymore, according to imdb a double did the fight scenes when the camera wasnt close up
tHEY DONT MAKE ACTORS LIKE HIM ANYMORE EITHER LOL
Por qué no exhiben la película completa...era de mis favoritas
The dwarf looks like Mel Brooks.
They were freely distributing titles that day
0:20~0:30
Has anyone heard that music in "The Goonies"?
He was watching this movie in the dungeon, he even did the sliding down the sail bit with a knife.
john tucker actually Sloth wasn’t watching this movie. He was watching The Sea Hawk (another Errol Flynn swashbuckler pirate movie) but Goonies used the soundtrack from this movie.
@@classicgunstoday1972 which is also used as the theme to Zorro the Gay Blade....it's all cyclical
One of the things star wars was inspired of
0:25 And Captain Chunk says let's get the hell out of here
Is she filming the fight with a mobile?????
Well,this action packed movie is ahead of its time.
0:46 you know the shit hit the fan when even the cheesy action music shuts the heck up and pays attention...
WB certainly had an identifiable style to it's movie soundtracks.

😂😂❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤m❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Still the best sword fight was Tyrone Powers in the Mark of Zorro.
Nope. The Adventured Robin Hood number#1.
this is some star wars looking crap
Star Wars is for simple minded, comic- book children ,this movie is an American Classic
