CAPTAIN BLOOD (1935) 285 Private Worlds, made by Paramount, dealt with mental derangement and psychiatrical therapy and handled this difficult theme with skill and sympathy. Gregory LaCava directed this Walter Wanger production. Above are Charles Boyer and Claudette Colbert in a scene from the film. Joan Bennett also gave a memorable performance. •\BOVE RIGHT Ginger Rogers had gone to Hollywood after scoring a hit in George Gershwin's Girl Crazy. There, after various roles, she was teamed as a dancer with Fred Astaire, whose sister-partner, Adele, had deserted her career to marry into the British peerage. The two speedily became the most popular dance team in pictures. This shot is from Top Hat. BELOW Another spectacular sea picture of the year was a screen version of Rafael Sabatini's Captain Blood, produced by Cosmopolitan-First National and featuring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. As this shot indicates, it was a boon to the extras.
