The Master of Ballantrae 11/18/25
The Warner Archive Collection
Blu-ray
Errol Flynn is back in harness as an 18th century Scottish patriot who survives the Battle of Culloden only to fall in with pirates of the Caribbean. No, really — it’s from a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. Flynn’s late career mini-epic tries to cover too much story and the direction isn’t distinguished, but Flynn is in good form and there are good scenes along the way. Compensating even more is the handsome Technicolor camerawork of Jack Cardiff and able acting support from English actors Roger Livesey, Anthony Steel, Beatrice Campbell and (swoon) Yvonne Furneaux. On Blu-ray from The Warner Archive Collection.
