Captain Blood
51Watch it awake.
A doctor is sold for treating rebels, then the pirate life is what you are sold.
The review
A doctor treats rebels and is sold into slavery in the Caribbean. He becomes a pirate captain. That is Errol Flynn's first big pirate picture, with Olivia de Havilland, and a child can watch it. A solid hit, behind Mutiny and Top Hat. I let the sailing stay and did not linger on the fights. The injustice is the start.
Then the pirate life is the pleasure. He did a doctor's work and lost his freedom for it, and the rest of the night wants the captain instead. I can see why a child asks for it. Say the sale before that pleasure takes over, or the fun swallows the reason he was sold.

The glance
Household and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

63 instead of 51
