  In 1942, The Black Swan was probably the greatest thing ever. I'm sure I would've gone to see it every night of the week if I saw this movie nearly 70 years ago. But since that's not the case and I recently saw the superior Adventures of Robin Hood, The Black Swan is… More
  In 1942, The Black Swan was probably the greatest thing ever. I'm sure I would've gone to see it every night of the week if I saw this movie nearly 70 years ago. But since that's not the case and I recently saw the superior Adventures of Robin Hood, The Black Swan is merely just okay. The opening is pretty strong and the back and forth between Tyrone Power and Maureen O'Hara (if I had to narrow it down for only one reason for anyone to see this movie it would be her beautiful bitchiness) was fun. Throw in the rest of the cast and some fun action and its worth the watch.

  This is one of my favourite pirate movies. It has it all, action, adventure, excitement, drama, romance, even a bit of humour. I loved it.

  A lesser swashbuckler that's fun but much more about sword fights and cannon fire than it is about story or character development. NOTE: Look for a very young Anthony Quinn in a minor role.

  One of the better Power adventure films, well directed and beautifully presented in Technicolor. Maureen O'Hara is her usual fiery self, Tyrone dashing and a supporting cast (Thomas Mitchell, Laird Cregar) that is really too good for this kind of thing, See if you can keep track… More

  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 than 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 arrogant 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.

  I'm told that this is a classic!
