## Description

Michael Martin (Rock Hudson) is a headstrong young patriot who has turned to highway robbery to support his country's cause against England during the Irish revolution. When he is taken under the wing of the famous rebel leader Captain Thunderbolt (Jeff Morrow), he soon finds himself second-in-command with a bounty on his head. Filmed on location in Ireland, Captain Lightfoot features Rock Hudson in a versatile role that allows him to play an action hero with a wry sense of humor as well as a dashing ladies man.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Colorful Irish Swashbuckler
  

*by O***E on Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2011*

Excellent and colorful swashbuckler filmed entirly in Ireland. Beautiful scenery filmed in County Wicklow just outside Dublin. Hudson (with an Ok Irish brogue) is the fictitious Captain Lightfoot who alongside his mentor Captain Thunderbolt (Jeff Morrow) give the occuping British forces in Ireland plenty of headaches. Exciting action and chases throughout highlighted by a terrific prison break from a castle.Besides Hudson, the lovely Barbara Rush, Jeff Morrow and Britisher Finley Currie the rest of the entire cast is fleshed out with the cream of Irish players who add greatly to it.The DVD is superb! In glowing color and a sharp clean 2.35 widescreen. This was one of Universal's first Cinemascope efforts and they went all out to make it a good one.

    'Captain Lightfoot' adapted from the book by W R Burnett
  

*by E***W on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2013*

A dashing rollicking story of Captain Lightfoot, (played by the devilishly handsome Rock Hudson) and his mentor Jeff Morrow, (Captain Thunderbolt.) The film is set in Regency times, and beautifully filmed in technicolour in Ireland. This fast paced actioner has lovely Barbara Rush, as Aga, the spirited heroine who teases and torments our hero. With humour, and bravado our young patriot resorts to highway robbery, while raising the spirit of the people during the Irish revolution, to oppose the English domination, and manages to outwit the law of the land. A must see for all, who may have missed it on it's release.

    Light on his feet, ....and not sure of his genres.
  

*by L***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2014*

DEFINITELY one for your "so-bad-it's-good" list.Anyone who thinks Rock Hudson was an actor should be forced to watch this piece of un-cured ham. Affecting a really bad Irish brogue, (which he lapses in and out of throughout the movie), his early scenes in this are little short of panto mugging and stock expressions of wonderment.Still he looks nice, ....and tries to play the wild Irish firebrand rural hick come to town, where he civilizes up rather quickly for a country boy it must be said .This movie also suffers something of an identity crisis.Not enough sword play or daring-do to be a swash-buckler; not enough adventure to be an epic; not enough sex to be a bodice-ripper; not enough major events to be a costume-drama; and not enough quality to be all that memorable."PHOTOGRAPHED" (not "shot" or "filmed") entirely in Ireland as the credits announce, the landscape looks pretty enough but there are a lot of very obvious studio interiors that are nowhere near the Emerald Isle.Performances are all pretty much in pantomime style, with some of the worst delivered lines you are ever likely to hear.Rock plays a would-be highwayman, ....and a pretty inept one at that; robbing for "the cause" which is to free Ireland from British rule.He's far too hot-headed to be of any use, ...and after another botched robbery has to hightail it out of the countryside to Dublin where he instantly becomes second-in-command to the infamous, and highly successful Capt. Thunderbolt. (A sort of Scarlet Pimpernel character!)Rock is given the name Capt. Lightfoot, .....and knowing of Mr Hudson's sexual proclivities in real life one wonders if the pun is not fully intentional.There are gypsies, totally unbelievable "ladies who aren't ladies" (ahem!), and lavish gambling casinos that look more Louis Kaboom than Louis Quatorze where the primary action seems to be mass courtly dancing rather than any gaming.There's a duel...of course, which Rock wins in a most unlikely way by means of a cigar!The only sex is one passionate kiss and an old fashioned spanking which Rock deals out to the young Scarlett O'Hara lookalike when she gets to uppity.Of course you just KNOW they are destinied for marriage after that!Despite much shooting here, amazingly no one dies.Even the bloke who everyone thinks is a traitor but is really a patriot (of course), manages to survive being shot and apparent drowning in a river.There are also some inexplicable costume changes that would not be possible. For instance Rock is at one stage arrested during a failed rescue attempt while wearing a monk's outfit and is taken straight to court where he appears wearing his clothing he left behind before he even set out on the mission quite some distance away. I cannot imagine his captors driving him home to change.The costumes are quite lavish at times, and the movie looks beautiful enough, but it never rises above laugh-level due to the ineptitude of most of the cast.It's just so obvious that everybody is trying so desperately to be somebody else.Rock wants to be Errol Flynn, the leading lady wants to be Vivienne Leigh, Capt. Thunderbolt wants to be James Mason...you get the idea.This is certainly NOT a film to be taken seriously.It is a shame that the director could not have made a firmer decision about just what sort of a movie this was going to be and gone along those lines.As it stands it's caught in the middle of a couple of genres and flounders about being neither one thing or the other.Watch it for the scenery, the costumes,... and to remark upon, and probably laugh at the lack of acting ability of just about everybody. I unexpectedly quite enjoyed this, but for all the wrong reasons.
