Featured review
Nobleman Rainiero, Sidonia's duke son, comes back home with his friend Renzo (Errol Flynn). Soon after arrival, Renzo will get in a big trouble and he will be forced to choose between going to church for marriage or going to prison.
Towards his last days as a swashbuckler, Errol Flynn still has the charm, the athleticism, though a little world weary, and prone to poke fun at his infamous reputation as a womaniser. This film starts with a narration saying how peaceful it is - then there's a scream, our man Errol leaps out of the window and another husband is upset. If you are expecting endless sword fights, and derring-do, then you'll be a little disappointed. The focus is on comedy, and Renzo's attempts to stay the window jumping bachelor, but there's some swordplay - there's a good sequence on top of a row of barrels, and the sword fight finale between Flynn and the villain is energetic. Not the best Flynn film, Crossed swords is a well-mounted production, has great costumes, eye catching locations, Gina Lollobrigida (sigh), and the legendary Errol Flynn. A pleasant watch.
