Making a swashbuckling film is not an easy thing to do. One of the greatest problems is to find a leading actor who is larger than life, dashing and able to perform the part well enough to be believable. Perhaps the greatest such actor was born in Hobart, Tasmania in 1909. Errol Flynn spent his early adult years drifting around the Pacific finding a living in a variety of ways. In 1933 he played an Australian film. Two years later he reached stardom in Hollywood when he starred in the swashbuckling movie captain blood. Flynn’s obvious skill at playing dashing heroes brought him a rush of films.
