One actor. Two film roles. You tell us which portrayal was the best. The most memorable. Or iconic. Or simply your favorite.
But before you pass judgment, a few words defending the “character” of each…
The case for Peter Blood
Errol Flynn’s first Hollywood film was Captain Blood, about an Irishman doctor-turned-buccaneer. Directed by Michael Curtiz, co-starring (a 19-year old) Olivia de Havilland, and scored by Erich Korngold this swashbuckling favorite is notable for an epic dual with Basil Rathbone.
The case for Robin Hood
Directed by Michael Curtiz, co-starring Olivia de Havilland, and scored by Erich Korngold this swashbuckling favorite is notable for an epic dual with Basil Rathbone. (Wait…where did I hear this before?) Instead of an Irish surgeon, this time Flynn portrays the famed English archer in The Adventures of Robin Hood.
Now that you’ve heard the arguments for both it’s time to render your verdict!
