Russ G @RT78760655 Feb 13, 2023 Robert Newsom pirate talks and the lovely but ill-fated Linda Darnell channels Jane Russell of "The Outlaw" in her low cut gowns, though with a somewhat less visible cleavage. William Bendix is living the Life of Riley as Blackbeard's second in command. All in all a decent sea-going yarn from Hollywood's Golden Age.

This movie came from that era when Howard Hughes practically owned RKO studios. So even though he may not have directed or produced this film, his influence is still very present; most obviously in Linda Darnell's costumes. Robert Newton, the only actor Hollywood saw fit to play a pirate, once again gives a convincing performance as Blackbeard.

Perhaps the earliest movie i remember ever going to, at the Avenue in Inglewood. Shd see it again, on youtube. .

First the dialogue is laughably bad as is Robert Newton's dialect. The plot is your basic pirate fare; pirate captures pretty girl, the main pursuer falls in love with girl, and is the pirate really bad. It is a paint by numbers movie.
