Adventures of Don Juan Movie Streaming.
Movie Title: Adventures of Don Juan Adventures of Don Juan is available for streaming or downloading. |
THE ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN was intended as something of a ‘comeback’ film for Warner Bros. resident ‘bad boy’, combining the fearless elements of ‘ROBIN HOOD’ and ‘THE SEA HAWK’ with Flynn’s well-established (by 1948) reputation as a hell-raising womanizer. Unfortunately, the color production was not a box office hit, but the comical adventure is today embraced by his many fans as one of his best roles!

It was not an easy film to make; despite Flynn’s initial attempts to be punctual and a cooperative, he eventually ‘fell off the wagon’, and his carousing and frequent disappearances stretched the filming out by months, forcing frequent reshooting. Director Vincent Sherman, cinematographer Elwood Bredell, and editor Alan Crosland often had to ‘cut-and-paste’ snippets of many takes to effect a decent performance from the star, and careful lighting had to be old to play down the increasingly definite effects of the star’s hedonistic lifestyle. (The closing scene, featuring then-wife Nora Eddington, was shot nearly a year before the remainder of the film, and the change in the Flynn’s physical appearance is clearly evident.) At 38, the star, who always hated being called a ‘pretty boy’ (to the extent that his home had few mirrors) was aging expeditiously, and badly.
All this being said, Flynn tried to give the film his best he could. It had been a landmark film for his friend/mentor John Barrymore, in the first Warners’ film with sound, employed for music and special effects only, in 1926 (THE JAZZ SINGER would introduce ‘talkies’ a year later) . It reunited him with friend and frequent costar Alan Hale, who, at 56, was mild a current character actor, and whose son, Alan Jr., was starting to earn his designate around town (he would eventually be best known as the Skipper in ‘Gilligan’s Island’) . The script for DON JUAN passed through many hands, including uncredited encourage by William Faulkner and Robert Florey, with the slay result being marvelously comical, tongue-in-cheek, and swashbuckling, to boot! The secure, by the legendary Max Steiner, became an instant classic, and would be reused, years later, in George Hamilton’s ZORRO, THE Cheerful BLADE. This was a film which, despite Errol Flynn’s self-destructive lifestyle, had enough talent interested to calm stand up as one of the better films of the 1940s.

The set involves roué Don Juan, tossed out of England after breaking up a ‘diplomatic’ wedding (a VERY silly scene), returning home to Spain to accept unfriendly Duke de Lorca (the sublimely harmful Robert Douglas) controlling feeble King Phillip, and taxing the population to approach starvation, with only the fair Queen Margaret standing in his plan. Flynn snappily dispatches a de Lorca press gang, earning the Count’s hatred, and the Queen’s attention…and Don Juan finds himself truly falling in cherish, for the first time, with the youthful monarch (played by the beautiful Viveca Lindfors) . Assigned as a fencing master at the Academy, the legendary lover draws the ire of the Queen by stating his feelings for her, then is manipulated into another disastrous diplomatic blunder, enthralling, of course, another woman. On the hasten, he discovers de Lorca’s ultimate diagram (manipulating the Crown into war), and with the succor of the students of the Academy, he must effect the King and Queen.
Featuring a huge early appearance by Raymond Burr (as a de Lorca henchman), and a stirring final duel between Flynn and Douglas (expanded from the 1926 version, and featuring an unbelievable climactic stairway jump, performed by stuntman and future ‘Tarzan’ Jock Mahoney), THE ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN is a gloriously adventuresome romp. Sadly, it didn’t keep Flynn’s flagging career, but it certainly has earned a situation among his classic films!
“The Adventures of Don Juan” was Warner Brothers’ last stout investment in Errol Flynn. Their resident unpleasant boy had long ago feeble up any goodwill he might have had with the studio — goodwill based primarily on Flynn’s power at the box office. But in the unhurried 1940s, Errol Flynn’s star was on the wane, and the studio was beginning to assume a hard and skeptical peruse at their one-time box office bonanza.

In an attempt to rekindle some of the passe fire, Warner Bros. produced “The Adventures of Don Juan,” in which Flynn plays the title role. His Don Juan is world-weary, a man for whom all the loves and swordfights and scandals are beginning to wear him a bit thin. But the most compelling aspect of this Don Juan’s character is his sense of humor. Flynn brings a droll, tongue-in-cheek element to the character that is extraordinarily enchanting.
The film is lush and well-appointed. There are times when Flynn shows the effects of years of hard drinking and womanizing, but for the most fragment he is strikingly glorious. Stunt doubles were customary extensively for him, particularly in the final duel scene. In the shot where Don Juan leaps down a long staircase and lands on top of the villain, future “Yancey Derringer” star Jock Mahoney performed the leap.
“Don Juan” did poorly in the United States and fabulously well in Europe. Its frigid reception at home convinced Warner Brothers that Flynn was no longer a bankable commodity, and considerably less money was spent on his films in the few years he had left under his contract.

But in the intervening years, “The Adventures of Don Juan” has earned a expansive following among Errol Flynn admirers and movie buffs as well. It is a vast, comical and thoroughly luscious jaunt with the King of the Swashbucklers, and one that should not be missed.
