Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
3. What movie is this?
It is a remake of the 1924 silent classic, but while the original was
loosely based on the novel by Rafael Sabatini, the 1940 version was inspired by
the adventures of Sir Francis Drake. The
film marked the tenth pairing of Errol Flynn and director Michael Curtiz (they
made a total of twelve including “Captain Blood” and “The Adventures of Robin
Hood”). The two brought out the best in
each other although they did not like each other. The movie had a huge budget of $1.75 million
and was a box office success. Part of
the money went into building a sound stage that had a water tank that could
hold two full-size ships (which were built for the film). The movie was nominated for four Academy
Awards: Art Direction, Music, Sound
Recording, and Special Effects. In an
interesting decision, it was filmed in black and white whereas the
earlier “Adventures of Robin Hood” was in Technicolor.
