The Crimson Pirate (1952)

Not Rated

|
| Fantastic swashbuckler with Errol Flynn, Alan Hale and smarmy Claude Rains. The Sea Hawks are basically privateers, which reminds me of my favorite pirate board game. |

| I always thought these movies might be inspired by the 1987 Tim Powers novel On Stranger Tides. I'm glad Mr. Powers got some Disney cash in the end. |
