Gegen alle Flaggen (1952)

Gegen alle Flaggen: Directed by George Sherman. With Errol Flynn, Maureen O’Hara, Anthony Quinn, Alice Kelley. Brian Hawke of the Royal Navy versus the pirates of Madagascar.

“A still very charismatic Errol Flynn is slightly past his best in this seafaring swashbuckler as u0026quot;Brian Hawkeu0026quot; – a Royal Navy Lieutenant gone undercover to discover the secret defences of the pirate stronghold of Suarez Bay on Madagascar. He falls for a deceptively glamorous Captain of the Coast – u0026quot;Mistress Stevensu0026quot; (Maureen Ou0026#39;Hara) who has lost none of her natural feistiness. Soon he is sparring with Anthony Quinn and after they inadvertently capture the daughter of the Mogul they all have to spar with Mildred Natwick (her nurse) doing her best Una Ou0026#39;Connor impression. It is still too much of a dawdling romance, with a soporific score from Hans Salter and way too much dialogue but is a perfectly watchable yarn, with an action-packed ending.”
