Swashbuckler MOVIES! MOVIES!, Beginning at 9:30 a.m.

It’s an action-packed afternoon on MOVIES! with a four-film lineup of classic swashbucklers from the golden age of Hollywood, featuring notable characters and/or actors who helped embody the genre of romantic, high adventure. Tyrone Power kicks things o‘ as leading man of the first two titles: the pirate swashbuckler The Black Swan (1942), co-starring Maureen O’Hara; followed by 1940’s The Mark of Zorro (pictured), with Power as the titular Robin Hood of Old California, who romances Linda Darnell and duels with baddie Basil Rathbone. Next is The Three Musketeers, the 1939 musical comedy adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ classic novel that stars Don Ameche as d’Artagnan and comedy team the Ritz Brothers as his cowardly helpers. Today’s swashbuckling comes to a thrilling conclusion with The Sea Hawk (1940), a pirate adventure classic led by Errol Flynn.
