Errol Flynn's last swashbuckling film, Adventures of Don Juan, shows how you craft a Code-approved movie about history's greatest lover - you put him at the end of his career, like Flynn more seasoned, mature, and perhaps even world-weary, ready to give it all up for the RIGHT woman. You lean into the sword-fighting instead. And it's enough to show he COULD bed almost any woman he wanted to (or actually, that any woman could bed HIM, as he's a paragon of consent - for Don Juan to work as a romantic hero, he must never manipulate, but always mean what he says), so you need not show or even imply he has, at least not within the confines of the movie. So it's a grand old romp in blazing Technicolor, with lots of humor, and daring, and charm. Once the plot asserts itself, it puts Don Juan in a classic star-crossed type situation, and embroils him in political shenanigans in the Court of Spain, saving his home country's queen from a nefarious mustache twirler. An ahistorical romance and adventure combo that's great for digging into the popcorn (or should I suggest tapas?). 3 years 10 months ago
