 In 1935 Warner Bros. asked Korngold if he was interested in writing an original dramatic score for "Captain Blood".He at first declined, feeling that a story about pirates was outside his range of interest.However, after watching the filming, with a dynamic new star, Errol Flynn in a heroic role, alongside Olivia de Havilland, who had her debut in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", he changed his mind.
