fun acrobatic swashbuckling
18 January 2021
It's late 18th century in the Caribbean. Captain Vallo (Burt Lancaster) uses trickery to capture the King's ship carrying envoy Baron Gruda. With his mute right hand man Ojo, he has many adventures.

This is some fun swashbuckling action. It's silly fun and hard pirate action. It fully uses Lancaster's acrobatic skills although I wish that he does more stunts during some stretches. He could be Jackie Chan before there was a Jackie Chan. There are some great fun stunts in the finale and there are some ridiculous action right before that. I can do less of the melodrama but that is the style of the day.
