YOU WILL FIND: Reactions and commentary on movies I have seen, including "spoiler" references (because otherwise it wouldn't be much more than "mm, ug, liked it" or "argh, didn't like it") YOU WILL NOT FIND: Detail by detail summaries (because it's not the present purpose of this blog) READ. COMMENT. ENJOY. THANKS FOR VISITING.

"The Sea Hawk" (1940)
An Errol Flynn movie again with music by Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Grand, rich, exciting music. Interesting music spots: The music leading up to the jungle ambush didn't use foreboding music. It was almost light-hearted. Maybe because the audience already knew the ambush was coming. I liked that better because it helped to dispel the tension some. I don't care for high-tension necessarily. So, this gave me a chance to keep just enjoying it. The end sword-fight was an interesting whirlwind of music choices--liked that, too. Black & white movie. The end-speech was the only direct indicator of its 1940s historical release (noble-ness inspiring, going to war and all that).
