Post-war swashbuckler
When making a swashbuckling adventure movie set during the Spanish Inquisition, who do you think Hollywood would cast? Tyrone Power of course! Back safe and sound from WWII, Ty continued his exciting career at full throttle, so if you liked The Black Swan and The Mark of Zorro, you’ll want to watch Captain from Castile.Alfred Newman gives a reprisal of his music from The Black Swan, with the substitution of a Spanish flair for the pirate flair, and in Technicolor, the lush costumes and on-location backgrounds are very pretty to watch-not to mention the prettiness of the lead. After Ty’s family is accused, tortured, and killed unjustly in the Inquisition, he joins a band of rebels bent on taking down the bad guys. Ty never takes on an accent during these swashbuckling movies-although you can catch him with an Irish accent in a couple of others-but he puts his heart into his heroes, so it hardly seems to matter, even when everyone else around him puts on an accent.
You’ll have to search hard to recognize Cesar Romero, the lead of the fighting rebels, for he’s covered up in a helmet and a beard and doesn’t look at all like his usual handsome self. He does smile a couple of times, and you can tell it’s he’s in there. Thankfully, Tyrone Power is thoroughly prettied up with long, curly hair, making him look like George Clooney. While it’s normally an effort to tear your eyes away from him when he’s on the screen, during the seductive dance between him and Jean Peters, it’s practically impossible. His lustful expression is even more distracting that his beautiful, perfect nose in profile.
If you’re undecided as to your opinion on old swashbucklers, this might not be the best to start with, also if you’re not interested in the time period. But if you do like this genre, or if Ty is your favorite of the bucks, you’ll want to watch it. Also, you’ll get to see a very young Jean Peters in her first movie, and since she didn’t make many, it’s fun to see her while you can.
