The Adventures Of Don Juan - 1948 - 6/10
The Spanish queen, besieged by schemers and disloyal courtiers, relies on Spain’s greatest swordsman.
And renowned lady-killer.
Splashy costume action would have been ideal a decade earlier.
Post World War II, it seems old-fashioned.
Flynn, perfectly cast, resembles more of a roué than a gallant knight.
This looks spectacular, especially the restored print. Costumes, sets, Technicolor.
Rousing Max Steiner score is one of his finest.
I adore this film, although I realize it was quaint when it came out.
