Captain Blood (1935)

This is another great picture from before WW2. It is an entertaining story of civil war, slavery, piracy, and patriotism that stars Errol Flynn (1909-1959) as Captain Peter Blood, Olivia de Havilland (b. 1916) as the girl (she was 19 at the time), and Basil Rathbone (1892-1967) as an incidental badguy (I've provided their swordfight). Apparently this was a sea-faring rival to "Mutiny on the Bounty" (1935) as they were in theaters at the same time.
