Title: Captain Blood the movie
Review: I enjoyed reading the original story. The movie was almost faithful to the story except for the final events leading up to the final scene. Having said that, I enjoyed the movie and have viewed it over the years many times. Screen writers ordinarily take too much liberty with classical stories and lose the highpoints of the plots, in my estimate. Take for example the classic, "The Count of Monte Christo", a beautiful story, with dramatically written scences. However, as more modern movie versions are produced, the story departs further and further from the original story line. The Count of Monte Christo, never ended up with Mercedes, but only the version with Richard Chamberlin stayed faithful to that fact.
