Dr. Peter Blood is forcible thrown into the life of a pirate, when he is wrongly accused of treason against King James II. Errol Flynn's first starring role for Warner Brother's it was the first in a string of swashbuckling roles for Flynn and one of his best roles. Movies like this is where Spielberg got the idea for the Indiana Jones movies, this genre, a little bubble gum, always has great performances and good plot lines to keep the audience engaged. Movies like this help the audience to forget their troubles for awhile. Captain Blood, Monday May 14th at 1:30 P.M. MST.
