Mark, the question of Flynn's physical problems came up in the thread "Hollywood actors and WW2" down the page. It discussed how he tried to join the armed forces but was rejected because of various problems including having cardiac problems, malaria, and a bad back. -- Al

The character "Yellowbeard" just wasn't a lovable monster like the numberous Long John Silvers or even Newton's Blackbeard.

Blackbeard: What be your name, girl?
Edwina Mansfield: Blackbeard!
Blackbeard: No, I be Blackbeard!



Yellowbeard was all monster and no heart.
Forgive me Ian Mcshane but you weren't Blackbeardy enough in POTC 4.

It's a measure of what was accomplished by an "ordinary" person in a certain amount of time compared to a notable person who appeared to live life to the fullest in comparison. Alexander the Great was dead as what...33?

BTW Flynn was noted as being really polite and gracious to his public and fans. His film about the Cuban Revolution is on Netflix.

Quite right - it always amazes me when you see the youth of the 'great' people of history. They do seem to live life at a different pace.

I am an avid Pirate Film Fan. I loved Pirates/Carib #1,3 and liked #4...Charlton Hestons Treasure Island is a classic for me ( after years of waiting, finally came out on DVD..) Horatio Hornblower as well as Master and Commander great ship to ship combat movies..Nautical story telling at its best. Michael

Charlton Heston! Thanks! I just put this on the top of my Netflix queue.

If there's a story about a kid looking for a father figure, it's Treasure Island.

We. just got it Yesterday. I forgot about all the talent in this film including Christopher Lee and Pete Postlethwaite. The musical score by The Chieftans is great! There's a commentary by the director as well.

Part of me thinks the music score is the real star of the film, with the actors and action taking a close second..Michael
