Against all Flags is a standard 50's pirate film featuring an aging Errol Flynn.
It's thin on plot and doesn't bother with any historical accuracy. Still I suppose it was intended as a light hearted romp and that's exactly what you get. There are a few decent fight scenes and it's filmed in vibrant colours. The obligatory romance(s) are laboured and unconvincing and take up way too much of the film. It's all fairly ridiculous but at least some enjoyment can be gained from the impressive sets.
This isn't a film that's aged well and it's hard to imagine it figured high on the achievements of any of the big star names in it, even at the time. It's worth watching for historical value but has little to offer the modern audience.
