What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on the novel of the same name by Rafael Sabatini.
  • Robert Donat was originally slated to play Captain Blood, but Warner Bros. executives ultimately decided to take a chance and replaced him with Errol Flynn, then an unknown actor from Australia.
  • The battle scenes did not use real ships, but small-scale models.
  • Flynn admitted that during filming he often played pranks on his co-star, actress Olivia de Havilland. Some of his jokes were quite malicious—for example, he once hid a dead snake in Olivia’s underwear, which greatly frightened the actress.
  • Basil Rathbone, who played Captain Levasseur, disliked Errol Flynn. During a duel scene between their characters, Rathbone distracted his opponent by informing him that he would receive significantly more money for his participation in the film, and intentionally wounded him in the hand.
  • The film was shown in Soviet cinemas under the title “Island of Suffering”.
  • In one scene of the film, Arabella Bishop holds a Pekingese dog in her arms, but this is highly unlikely, as Pekingese dogs only arrived in Europe in the second half of the 19th century, while the events in the film take place at the end of the 17th century.
  • By his own admission, Flynn often played pranks on Olivia de Havilland during filming. Some of his jokes were quite malicious—once the actor hid a dead snake in Olivia's underwear.
  • The film was shown in Soviet cinema under the title 'Island of Suffering'.
