There's nothing like an Errol Flynn pirate movie, is there? He's so handsome and dashing, but he's also incredibly intimate and sensitive-in other words, he's the perfect fictional love interest! There are a million to choose from, but if you happen across Against All Flags, give it a whirl because it's pretty good.
Errol is a secret spy, and he smuggles himself aboard Captain Anthony Quinn's pirate ship to gain information, but he doesn't count on Tony and his right-hand lady Maureen O'Hara catching onto his act. Before long, he's summoned before the entire crew and forced to prove himself as loyal. Well, when he makes a play for the captain's girl, that doesn't make him look very loyal, does it? Maureen herself doesn't really mind, because she's been playing hard to get with Tony for quite a while, and it's clear to the audience from the get-go that she prefers Errol.
Against All Flags has it all: pirate ships, a love triangle, a kiss and a slap within seconds, and swordfights. Plus, the ladies in the audience are posed with a very difficult dilemma: choosing between handsome Errol or passionate Tony. I still haven't made up my mind.
