The Master of Ballantrae**
(GB 1952)
A supporter of Bonnie Prince Charlie joins the attempted revolution, but after its defeat flees to the high seas before returning to try and claim back his title.
Lively Technicolor historical adventure, a sort of watered down Adventures of Robin Hood with a strong supporting cast, despite weak romantic interest and a variable production, with a star advancing in years and declining in health (his last adventure for Warner Brothers), but he can still cut a fine dash.
Written by: Herb Meadow, Harold Medford, based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Producer: no credit.
Director: William Keighley.
Starring: Errol Flynn, Anthony Steel, Roger Livesey, Beatrice Campbell, Yvonne Furneaux, Felix Aylmer, Mervyn Johns, Jacques Berthier, Francis de Wolff, Ralph Truman.
Photography: Jack Cardiff.
Music: William Alwyn.
