Orin D @RT64117979 Oct 26, 2026 I continue reviewing of the films of my childhood idol Flynn w/ this romantic/swashbuckler made for him for who better to play to portray Don Juan than a genuine real life lothario like. "in-like Flynn." This film features a fabulous soundtrack w/ a Don Juan theme I clearly recall. a half century later. The film has many unforgettable lines like "the sword is not for the traitor; you die by the knife!" The athletic Flynn despite his illness brought on by his excessive drinking performs most of his fencing feats w/o the need for a stunt double. The film received glowing reviews & was a big money maker for Warners. Flynn who was @ this. point visibly fraying @ the edges made it thru this one last swashbuckling classic. @ the end when Don Juan muses about retiring to write his memoirs the lovely maiden in the coach who flirts w/ him is his real life wife. Alan Hale ever Flynn's sidekick is again great as is Raymond Burr as a villain. Highly recommended swashbuckling faire! Orin Domenico See more

Mar 30, 2016 Overstuffed preposterousness with Errol just beginning to fray around the edges is still a feast for the eyes. Ultra lush production values with eye popping costumes, baroque set pieces, the ever reliable Warners stock company and of course a sword fight or two. See more

s r @ScottR Feb 14, 2016 A run of the mill Flynn flick. See more

Feb 1, 2013 These 1930-40 period pieces are hugely entertaining!! There was just one issue I had with this film. It wasn't that Errol Flynn was kind of past his prime, OR even that Vivecia Lindfors' accent was horrifically distracting. No. It was that 24 hours after watching Flynn's performance in The Adventures of Robin Hood, I saw the same "night" footage used in this as in Robin Hood. I couldn't believe it. I know film was and is expensive, but really? Poor Vincent Sherman, poor. See more

Dec 4, 2012 Starring the great Errol Flynn (who else?), with his usual sidekick, Alan Hale, and Vivica Lindfors. A clever, witty, entertaining drama in which Flynn saves the queen from an evil would-be usurper. At the end of the movie, his latest very young real life lover has a cameo, and then comes the great ending line. See more
