Adventures of Don Juan (1948)
I know what you’re thinking: Adventures of Don Juan is going to be ridiculous. It’s a tongue-in-cheek depiction of the old classic with an Errol Flynn who’s past his prime and making a caricature of his screen persona. Give it a chance, because it’s actually pretty cute.
Yes, Errol Flynn is making fun of himself a bit in this one, playing the adventurous womanizer, but he’s still adorable. He looks a little older than he did in Captain Blood, but after thirteen years, wouldn’t you expect him to look a little older? His faithful sidekick from a dozen movies, Alan Hale, plays his faithful sidekick again as he gets in and out of scrapes with married women. The humor in this semi-spoof is quite funny, since it’s clear no one is taking it seriously. It doesn’t have a cheesy B-movie quality to it, which makes it more enjoyable to watch than just picking something terrible like Ivanhoe to laugh at. Plus, you’ll get some cute music from Max Steiner to get you in the mood for several classic swordfight sequences!
