**A little-known film, but with quality, with Flynn in one of the last good works of his career.** Another swashbuckling film starring Errol Flynn and directly inspired by a literary work by the great Robert Lewis Stevenson. A film similar to others made by the actor throughout a brilliant career, which ended too soon when alcoholism, as we know, led to his death. Far from being one of the actor's most interesting works, this is one of the most beautiful and well-executed films of his later life. I believe that the most avid readers will already know the original book by Stevenson, an author we have all read, at least in adolescence. I speak for myself, Stevenson was one of the writers I most enjoyed reading as a child and teenager, thanks to the colorful descriptions and the lively way he described the adventures of his characters. The film doesn't make use of even half of the original book, but what was used resulted in an effective script that works well, and gives us the adventure and action we hope to find. At the end of the movie, there's a twist that we didn't expect (except for those who read the book) and it gives a nice feeling at the end. Errol Flynn, although the glory days are far away, performs here in good shape and gives the public one of the last quality works. He shows some energy and willingness to shine, and the character allows him to do a little more than we've seen, better, in movies like _Sea Hawk_. However, he is already quite a mature man and those who have read the book, and know the characters, will surely find the actor old for the role. Unlike other works by the actor, this film is very masculine and only Beatrice Campbell deserves real importance in the female cast. The film also has good work by Roger Livesey and also Anthony Steel. Technically, the film does what it can to live up to what the audience wants, and it gives us good cinematography, vividly colored and lit. The camera is quite static, but it does a very interesting job, and the action and fight scenes are particularly enjoyable, however choreographed the fights are. The action stunts work is good, and the sets and costumes are nice and epic in a sense, even if everything is obviously fake. Finally, a note for the soundtrack, which resonates with epic adventure, but isn't really very memorable if you listen to it.

Errol Flynn leads the way with an excellent Roger Livesey in this rather lively adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's swashbuckling tale of Scotland immediately after the failed Jacobite rebellion, As was common during many civil wars; the landed gentry hedged their bets by having a foot in each camp, In this one Flynn picks the losing side and ends up having to be secreted away, join some pirates and have quite a few adventures before returning back to Durisdeer to reclaim his inheritance and settle some scores with the women in his life. It's an enjoyable, colourful historical adventure. Nothing too taxing.
