Synopsis
"The Adventures of Don Juan" is more fun than its reputation suggests, but it still plays as a footnote to Errol Flynn's swashbuckling career. The heroic, athletic figure that lunged, leapt, and sashayed through "Captain Blood", "The Adventures of Robin Hood", and "The Sea Hawk" had thickened a bit thanks to middle age and, not to thin words, booze. Accordingly, and with an eye toward the star's real-life aptness to the role of Don Juan, the picture is at least as interested in eliciting chuckles as serving up thrills.
