Tossup

During a montage in this film, an offscreen assassin extinguishes a candle in the process of killing a soldier who is accosting a woman in an inn. That stunt is one of many in this film performed by Howard Hill. A sidekick in this film who has a fish placed in his hands while asleep is played by screwball staple Eugene Pallette. The “Love Scene” cue is often performed from this film’s Oscar-winning score by (*) Erich Korngold. (10[1])In one of the few stunts not performed by this film’s star, his (10[1])double cuts a rope then rides it up as a portcullis comes crashing down. The title character of this three strip Technicolor (-5[1])film climbs up a wall of vines to meet a lady played by Olivia de Havilland. For 10 points, in what Michael Curtiz swashbuckler does Errol Flynn split an arrow in an archery contest? (10[1])■END■
