Captain Blood/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Evil Is Sexy: Basil Rathbone's Levasseur is considerably more attractive than the bestial figure described in the novel. Not a few female fans have been known to consider him more attractive than Errol Flynn's Peter Blood.
  • Narm Charm: One must have a very hard heart not to smile at the film's Silent Era-style supertitles, including "Carving a Crimson Career"; "He began with nothing but a Ship, a Handful of Men -- and a Brain"; and "Blood!" "Blood!" "BLOOD!" in successively larger letters.
  • The Woobie: Jeremy Pitt has a tendency to assume this role.
