Not a classic, but still fun to watch

"The Master of Ballantrae" is no "Adventures of Robin Hood," but it's entertaining and fast paced.

The color photography is lovely, and Errol Flynn is still charismatic even if he's a bit older and less agile.

Roger Livesey as Flynn's sidekick is the best part of the movie as far as I'm concerned, and most of the best lines were given to him. Check out the Memorable Quotes section to see what I mean.

Had the two of them been paired in a really good vehicle, I'm sure the results would have been awesome. As it is, it's still better than average and a pleasant way to pass a couple of hours.
