Adventures of Don Juan
The dramatic leap which Don Juan did from the 17th step of the grand staircase during the climactic sword fight with Robert Douglas was done by stuntman/actor Jock Mahoney, the only stuntman who would agree to do it. Mahoney was paid $350 for the stunt.,There are several references to the city of St. Petersburg, Russia, in this film set during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. The said city was not founded until a century AFTER that queen's death in 1603.,[last lines]
Leporello: Juan! No more romance, huh?
Don Juan: My dear friend, there's a little bit of Don Juan in every man, and since I am Don Juan, there must be more of it in me!,Edited from The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938),If you love swashbucklers, period movies, buddy movies, or Errol Flynn, you must love this movie. For swashbuckling, you have a series of wonderful fight scenes, each one convincing, each one a delight. For period movies, the costumes are excellent and the history just accurate enough to be useful, but not so accurate as to be dull. Flynn and Hale are perfectly matched foils here, with Hale getting some of the wittiest lines in the movie. And this is Flynn's perfect part, still ladykiller enough to carry off the love scenes, still fit enough to persuade as the great duellist. Watch it.,
