Errol Flynn has never been better!, 24 September 1998
8/10
Author: Patrick Sullivan (sullivpj@sce.com) from Los Angeles, California

The main problem with this film is the casting. As Greer Garson's cold husband, Errol Flynn was cast. He is nothing short of superb, and he and Garson have great chemistry together. But the casting of Garson's lover went to Robert Young, and he is totally wrong for the role. One can never accept Garson's feelings for him over Errol Flynn!
