Review of Adventures of Don Juan

I've read many disparaging reviews of this film, some saying Errol Flynn is 'way past his peak', and it was a big flop when it came out. But if you enjoy sumptuous colorful costume adventures (pirate movies, knight of olde movies, swashbuckler movies), you can't do better than this one. The music, the settings, and the amazingly beautiful costumes (the movie won an Oscar for the costumes!) which look like they were cut from the actual cloth of the period - all combine for good entertainment. The storyline is not that important, nothing that hasn't been seen in the past. Just the perfect movie for a rainy Sunday afternoon, soaking up the noise, spectacle, and color. There are worse ways to kill an hour or two.
