I have been hoping to see The Sea Hawk on ITunes for years. An excellent movie - the kind of pure escape so often needed. The film's soundtrack alone is worth the rental price but the movie looks to be cleaned-up a good deal as well (still B&W - not colorized - which is even better). Rotten Tomatoes and others have it right - this is a 100% great movie

This movie is, in some ways, even better than The Adventures Of Robin Hood (1938). A rousing (and often moving) Korngold score permeates every moment of this great tale. There are enough sword fights, sea battles, duels to the death and moments of romance and pathos to satisfy even the most demanding swashbuckler fan. Flynn obviously trained hard for this picture and his fencing style has matured so much since he first efforts in Captain Blood!

An excellent pirates story.
