    Campy, very hokey, cliche-ridden and soooo much fun as it'stotally aware of it's limitations and sends itself up wonderfuly. It's also a perfect example of it's type.
    The cast is the best it can be (outside of a Rathbone/Flynn pairing). Laird Cregar, looking even more enormous th...( read more)an usual in a series of outrageous costumes and massive wigs, smacks his chops marvelously as does a completely unrecognisable George Sanders in a ginger wig and beard. And the chemistry between Power and O'Hara is refreshingly sparky as they take it in turns to smack each other about - until (inevitably!) falling for each other's charms. Great stuff!
    Power is easily the equal of Flynnn when it comes to buckling his swash and, to be perfectly frank, neither are much to get excited about when it comes to screen acting but Power has the edge for me in the shirtless stakes - especially stretched out on the rack!

    The Black Swan starring Tyrone Power, Maureen O'Hara, and Anthony Quinn is a fine movie. Maureen O'Hara is stunning as the red haired beauty whom resides in Jamaica and gets swept off her feet by Tyrone Power in this swashbuckling film...

    Tyrone Power once again buckles his swash in glorious technicolor in this sea-bourne adventure set in the Caribbean. The usual piratical shenanigans are in full effect, but I must admit the scenes in Jamaica weren't convincing; Power comes across as a wholly unsympathetic arrogan...( read more)t thug, especially in his treatment of the lovely Maureen O'Hara, so the romantic element didn't really work for me. It gets better as the story takes to the sea though, and the action is handled effectively, but it's just not a patch on The Crimson Pirate or Captain Blood. A decent but dated diversion.

    engaging. i personally didn't find it at all slow paced, and i did find the part where the lady gets dropped like "a sack of potatoes" as someone previously mentioned on here quite amusing. it was just a seafaring pirate flick though, although better than any errol flynn's i've s...( read more)een there was no masterful acting. i've been drinking captain morgans rum for a while. never realised captain morgan was a real person. just thought it was a brand name. oh well, now i know
