***** O
It's Errol Flynn at his swashbuckling best. Though set in the 1500's this movie is very much about World War II, which was just commencing when Sea Hawk was filmed. Spanish king Phillip II – intent on conquering the world – could only be more Hitler-like if he wore a tiny little mustache. British sea captain Geoffrey Thorpe and his band of merry men stand in for the Allies, attacking Spanish ships to free English slaves, collecting treasure to provide his queen the money she needs to fight Spain, and just generally opposing tyranny wherever they find it. Sea Hawk is a great action flick with undertones of political intrigue.
