Crimson Pirate (ej svensk text) (Blu-ray)

In the late 18th century, Captain Vallo (Lancaster), his trusty mute partner Ojo (Nick Cravat) and his crew of nefarious pirates scour the Caribbean searching for ships to plunder. This light hearted action romp has everything you would expect from a pirate film, scurvy men, a big pirate vessel, swordfights and a pretty damsel in distress (Eva Bartok). Shot on location in the Mediterranean and directed by the veteran Robert Siodmak (“The Killers”, “The Spiral Staircase”) this delightfully upbeat, cartoonish adventure story was the template for the tone and style of “Pirates of the Caribbean”. A film family favourite. It’s nothing less than an edge-of-your-seat joyride.
