The creators of "Adventures of Don Juan" were smart to take a jaunty, silly tone with this sexy costume drama and avoid the wooden, stuffy pitfalls that make so many other historical pics from this time period such a slog to sit through now. They were also smart to recognize what they had in leading man Errol Flynn, and to play up his considerable sex appeal. There's no new ground being broken here, but what is on screen is fun and entertaining enough.
"Adventures of Don Juan" won the Academy Award for Best Color Costume Design in only the second year of that category's existence, and it was also nominated for Best Color Art Direction.
Grade: B.
