What fantastic fun this film is a swashbuckler of the highest order, fun and adventure on the high seas, a dashing hero, a damsel in distress, a dastardly foe, treachery, sword fights, great sea battles and more pirates than you can shake a cutlass at! What more could any adventure film fan ask? Tyronne Power really looks and plays the part matching those other swashbuckling hero's such as Errol Flynn in bravado and flair. Maureen O Hara is the damsel in distress and as well as stunning looks is more fiery than the usual heroins of these films. George Sander and Laird Cregar are also fantastic on opposite sides of the Pirate wars.
Lighthearted and full of fun this is Sunday afternoon entertainment of the best kind. The pace slows in places but the finale is more than adequate pay off.
A film that makes everyone want to be a pirate!!! 8/10
