Silver River (1948)
When Errol Flynn gets dishonorably discharged from the cavalry, what’s he to do? Is he going to become a huge swashbuckling hero? Or is he going to be a conniving gambler? Normally, he’s the nice guy, but in Silver River, he’s a bit on the naughty side. It’s quite a coincidence both Silver River and That Forsyte Woman were made in such close proximity; perhaps Errol Flynn was tired of playing the hero?
He has a faithful sidekick that’s not Alan Hale in this one: Tom D’Andrea. Errol and Tom set off with a minor bankroll, making rash bets that pay off, intent on becoming the head honchos in their new town. Immediately, Errol butts heads with Ann Sheridan, who’s married to Bruce Bennett, the owner of a thriving silver mine. Errol wants to make them indebted to him, and to eventually win Ann’s affections, so he buys out shares of the silver mine. With an unscrupulous, boozy lawyer by his side, Thomas Mitchell, Errol starts his climb to the top.
If this doesn’t sound good to you, you probably won’t like it. Stick with movies like Captain Blood or Objective, Burma! if you want to see him as a hero. He’s a bad boy in this one, but if you want to see him in the change of pace, give it a shot.
