Classic Films in Focus: THE SPANISH MAIN (1945)
Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jul 22, 2016
The Spanish Main (1945) revisits many of the same elements as earlier swashbucklers, especially Captain Blood (1935) and The Black Swan (1942), but this time instead of Errol Flynn or Tyrone Power we get Paul Henreid as the heroic pirate, and the actor gives a perfectly winning performance in the ro read more

Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jul 19, 2016
Adapted from the novel by Sir Walter Scott, Ivanhoe (1952) makes a perfect companion to The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938).

Virtual Virago Posted by Jennifer Garlen on Jul 18, 2016
