Universal and Paramount Pictures were two fantastic studios in terms of adventures movies, see for instance CARIBBEAN, WAKE OF THE RED WITCH, SMUGGLER'S ISLANDS, CAPTAIN CHINA, CROSSWINDS, AGAINST ALL FLAGS, and many more films that I can't put down here...This one is enhanced by Jeff Chandler's and Scott Brady's presence, for an excitjng story, directed by Frederic de Cordova, for whom adventure yarns were not the main trademark, but instead comedies and some cheap musicals. I recommend it as a very good little adventure, pirates, bucaneer scheme. Technicolor is wonderfully used and the production design totally adequate.
