Against what?
26 March 2002
Sounds like something you can't miss: a pirate movie starring Errol Flynn, Maureen O'Hara and Anthony Quinn... Well, not really. You can miss it, no problem at all. Flynn plays a British Navy officer who could be living on the edge since he is spying a pirate community in Madagascar. But he looks like someone who is having a good time, his heart divided between pirate O'Hara and a foolish Indian princess. Action sequences are unconvincing, even fencing is weak. Only the final duel between Flynn and Quinn holds some interest. The same story was remade as "The King's Pirate" in 1967, a B-movie less pretentious but funnier than the original.
