4.0 out of 5 stars A second excellent collection from Errol Flynn, 9 Aug 2007
This second Signature Collection of Errol Flynn may lack the grandness of volume one but it's one hell of package just the same. The "extras" may be so-so but the choice of films makes it a must-have item. Pride of place has to go to "The Charge of the Light Brigade" (1936). Historians may quibble at its lack of historical accuracy but this is a great ppiece of picture-making and one of Flynn's best bits of derring-do. The charge itself comes thundering at you across seven decades of changinmg fashions and advancing technologies to claim its place as one of the best action sequences of all time.
Then there are two aviation pictures "The Dawn Patrol" (1938) in which Flynn gives of his best performances as a devil-may-care World War 1 pilot who suddenly finds himself with trapped with the responsibilities of command. "Dive Bomber" (1941) is a pre-World War 11 drama that was shot just months ahead of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and one gets the very real feeling a nation preparing for imminent war. "Dive Bomber" is an odd title since not a single bomb is dropped throughout its 132 minutes running time. Flynn plays a Flight Surgeon who is trying to find a way to cure pilot blackout following steep dives and the procedures are really quite interesting. The flying sequences - shot is dazzling Technicolor - are really eye-catching and Flynn is well suported by a fine cast that includes Fred MacMurray, Ralph Bellamy and a gorgeous young Alexis Smith in her first film.

Miss Smith pops up again as Flynn's co-star in "GENTLEMAN JIM" (1942) the story of the 19th century heavyweight boxing champion who took the world title from John L. Sullivan. As a boxing drama it's light years away from "Raging Bull" or even "Rocky" but it does give a vivid picture of 19th century boxing as well as the social climate of San Francisco.
Corbett is portrayed as an audacious and somewhat conceited social climber who cons his way into society though his boxing skills. Were it not for Flynn's impudent charm the character would be unbearable.

The fight scenes, for the most part. are well-staged and Flynn looks good in the ring. The film's only flaw is that it's played a little too much for laughs, but it is certainly entertaining and is said to be Flynn's favorite role.

Finally comes "The Adventures of Don Juan" (1948). The only swashbuckler in the package with its stunning sets and dazzling costumes all sumptiously shot in 3-strip Technicolor perfectly supported by a sweeping score from Max Steiner is a feast for both the eye and the ear. The script too is excellent with some really choice dialogue. Flynn's performance as a jaded Don Juan gets more interesting as the film progresses. Is it an enjoyable film? Yes, but the only letdown is
Vincent Sherman's snail-paced direction and his lack of flair in handling the action scenes. If this had been directed by Michael Curtiz or Raoul Walsh it would have been a masterpiece. As it is, it's still a good picture and it sits very comfortably into this excellent collection.

Let's hope Warners give us a 3rd volume with titles like "Edge of Darkness" - "Objective Burma" " Virginia City" " Cry Wolf" and - one of Flynn's best dramatic performnces in a most underrated western "Silver River." Until then, this set and its predecessor, offers some of the best work of Hollywood's best swashbuckler.
