CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

jlewis77-1 Filmed in 1946-47 with more than one "cruise", this two-reeler's great Pacific and Caribbean scenery apes anything seen in other contemporary travelogues. Errol Flynn and marine biologist Pop obviously enjoyed all of this traveling and critter-collecting, highlighted with Flynn splashing with the California gray whales. Humorously, the love 'em & leave 'em Errol was separated from Nora Eddington by the time this short was released, so she appears on screen mostly as a "friend", with the study of smelly fish and crabs preventing any on-screen "romance" and a Garden Of Eden tour very chaste.There's little question that Warner Bros. put more gusto into their docu-shorts than most other studios. (Quick history lesson: Since about 1935, the popular success of MGM's Traveltalks and Paramount's Popular Science launched a boom in Hollywood "educational shorts". These were SO much cheaper to crank out than even the jazz band musicals, the only "entertainment" shorts Universal and Fox were making by this time, and could be shot in any color process for practically peanuts.) Warner's "Sports Parades" were often less "sports" and more National Geographic sight-seeing; this studio also made plenty of animal titles like "Smart As A Fox". Fittingly, after the "live-action short subjects" were phased out in 1957, this same studio took over four installments of the ever popular Bell Science series with Dr. Frank Baxter. Unfortunately, little was done with the print shown on THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD DVD. Hopefully, Warner Home Video is gradually working on its impressive short subject collection and a "restored" Zaca will be made available, along with other hard-to-see travelogue curios like "Jungle Terror" and "Charlie McCarthy And Mortimer Snerd In Sweden".

WiltatKansas I'm a great Errol Flynn fan. This is a documentary made by Errol Flynn in the beginning of his lower days. The images are beautiful and the narration is very entertained, but the movie is too melancholic. Although it's in color the images are bad preserved. I think it's no more than a collectors document for the Errol Flynn fans, but not because is a bad filming but because it's not more than the filming of Errol Flynn in holidays in a oceanographic expedition with his father, his wife Nora at that time, and others marine scientists. The film starts at Flynn's home in Hollywood and ends in his home in Kingston, Jamaica.

William Giesin I recently saw The Cruise of the Zaca on You Tube, and I must say it was quite interesting. This cinematic short subject gives the movie viewer a nostalgic look at the "real" Errol Flynn as opposed to the "reel" Errol Flynn. Generally speaking, I despise the term "comfortable in his own skin" but I must say that is exactly what Mr. Flynn is in this short film. One can't but help but see his love for the sea and adventure as he sails the seas with his father (Theodore Flynn) and former wife (Nora Eddington). The feature last about 20 minutes and some of the film subjects include a Gray Whale and a local native dance. It certainly is a credit for Flynn's fans to have the opportunity to see Flynn as the "real life" adventurer he was.

Steve-171 Type of film they'd show at a Saturday matinee between the cartoons and the first feature, to boost popcorn sales. Flynn and his yacht grab some marine biologists and stop at some islands to pick up specimens. Interesting to Flynn fans, to see his hair long prior to filming DON JUAN, but pretty dull for anybody else.
