Captain Blood
Fortunes of Captain Blood
is a 1950 pirate film directed by Gordon Douglas and starring Louis Hayward as Captain Peter Blood. The movie is a swashbuckling adventure that follows Captain Blood as he attempts to rescue his crew, who have been captured and enslaved by the Spanish Marquis de Riconete (George Macready). The film also features Patricia Medina as Isabelita Sotomayor and Dona Drake as a local barmaid named Pepita.
The movie is based on the character of Captain Blood from the 1922 novel and subsequent stories by Rafael Sabatini. It is not a remake of the 1935 film Captain Blood starring Errol Flynn, but rather a separate story that is a continuation of the saga. The film was produced by Columbia Pictures and was followed by a sequel in 1952 titled Captain Pirate.
