The Master of Ballantrae
Late period Errol Flynn swashbuckler, and it can be a bit difficult to watch: Flynn's hard living has left him looking ten years older then he is at this point, and he plays a rather bitter and unlikable character (a mistake for a swashbuckler, if you ask me). It's also a much less impressive affair then his earlier classics. However, Roger Livesey and the French pirate captain add a some gravitas that the film otherwise needs. Not a total loss.
