Light, silly with 3 Good Stars
27 July 2004
This is certainly a film that has not stood the test of time so when they say "Why don't they make movies like they used to?", I am sure they were not referring to this film. The plot is silly and very hard to really get interested in, and the 90 minutes it runs for is certainly long enough. I know believability should not come into it, but this one really stretches the imagination too far. If we saw the dogs chase Errol Flynn once more, I would have had to turn it off! The role they gave Olivia de Havilland was an insult to her ability, and the same could be said For Rosiland Russell, but there was more meat in her character so it was not as much a travesty. Patric Knowles had about his biggest role, and unfortunately for him, it did not work too well. Some of the character actors in supporting roles were adequate. It proved to me that when partnered with Flynn, Miss de Havilland should have insisted on Adventure or Western scripts.
