The Black Swan (Henry King, 1942)

Classical swashbuckler, but not very interesting one. Great cinematography and music and decent special effects. Story is more or less standard romantic one with some cool dialogues thrown in every now and then. But pretty weak on action and fighting because there are only two battles and none of them is choreographed very imaginative or spectacular.

Biggest problem is total lack of chemistry between Tyrone Power and Maureen O'Hara. They are just not Errol Flynn and
Olivia de Havilland...

But still okay for fighting hangover on Sunday morning I guess.

4/10
