(More customer reviews)I just finished watching Errol Flynn's THE DUEL for the first time--THE DUEL IS ERROL FLYNN'S BEST MOVIE!!! I don't usually like watching black and white tapes, but THE DUEL is a hell of a look back for anyone at a time when movies were made for one reason--to entertain!
THE DUEL has no endless list of credits, no wasted scenes or token characters, and no baloney as Errol Flynn plays a ruthless English lord who has murdered a man 10 years before and now wants to intimidate the man's daughter--who has been living in his home as his ward--into marrying him for one reason that he actually tells her:he has gambled away his fortune and wants her money! But Flynn knows that she wants to marry a young English soldier and has a contingency plan that he tells her, too:he is a master with pistols and will trick the young man into a duel!
Errol Flynn isn't as young and dashing in THE DUEL as he was in THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD or CAPTAIN BLOOD, but even in his 50s he's still tall, rugged, and handsome enough to make a terrific villain, and there are plenty of subtle references to his well publicized private life that help to add to the momentum leading to the movie's exciting final scene. And all this in only 30 minutes!!!
IN LIKE FLYNN--THE DUEL IS ERROL FLYNN'S BEST MOVIE!!!
