Redford is a great actor and works well in this film. He makes a simple script come alive on screen. As a filmmaker, it was interesting to see how a dialogue-free movie can work visually. For me, the story was a metaphor or allegory for life and our struggles. Cinematography was good, it was shot on the hottest camera of the time. The lack of dialogue and having only one actor made it a meditation for me on the visual elements. There were no distractions, just you and the actor. This movie is inspiring in actors to show that you can more than just words. Acting is much more than just memorisation and spitting them out. If you miss this movie then you will miss out - its great.

I really really like this film. Peter Finch is outstanding as Captain Langsdorf of the German Battleship Admiral Graf Spee. I love the swashbuckling entrance that he makes with Captain Dove (He is the captain of a merchant ship that was sunk by the Admiral Graf Spee). There are so many stand out actors in this film, Christopher Lee, Anthony Quale and John Gregson. The Directors Emeric Pressburger and Michael Powell both work together really well, the cinematography is just amazing, their choice of shots outstanding. Every single character in this film is just outstanding. I think the shots of real ships, that took place during the real battles just makes it for me. I feel like I am on the boat watching action real time! Well worth watching, not to be missed.

This is just a fantastic pirate film. In fact to be honest its just a fantastic film altogether! Something about the film is just as good today as it was when it was made! 80 years ago! Has it really been 80 years! This was like Robin Hood of the sea kind of film. The film is like justice over law, robbing the rich and giving to the poor kind of idea.

Flynn is a Doctor who found himself on the wrong side of one of the United Kingdom's many civil wars, he was sent away to be a slave in one of the outer colonies, you only need to just see the way he stares at the judge! It says everything you need to know right their!

He didn't choose to become an outlaw and he just does what he needs to in order to survive (maybe get a little revenge).
