A collection of films starring Errol Flynn. Flynn made his starring debut in the classic swashbuckling adventure story, ' Captain Blood' (1935). He plays a surgeon wrongly imprisoned for helping rebels. Mr. Blood escapes & becomes a pirate in the Caribbean, before founding the ' Brotherhood of Buccaneers' to fight the villainous King James II. In ' Dodge City' (1939), Wade Hatton (Flynn) is a cattle buyer who soon makes a name for himself after arriving in the small frontier town of Dodge City. Wade not only helps catch cattle rustler Jeff Surrett (Bruce Cabot), but leads a covered wagon train to safety. However, this fails to impress the beautiful Abbie Irving (Olivia de Havilland), who blames Wade for the death of her brother in a stampede he accidentally started. When Wade discovers that Surrett has taken over Dodge in his absence, he puts on the sheriff's badge in an attempt to clean up the town. ' The Private Lives of Elizabeth & Essex' (1939) is a Hollywood history lesson detailing the doomed affair of Elizabeth I (Bette Davis) & Lord Essex (Flynn).

' The Sea Hawk' (1940) is another swashbuckling sea adventure set on the Spanish Armada during Elizabeth's reign. Flynn leads the British against the Spaniards to a rousing score (nominated for Best Music Oscar) by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.

Finally, ' Dive Bomber' (1941) is an exciting aviation film about experiments which attempted to eliminate the dangerous phenomenon of pilot-blackout.
