Der Seeräuber (1942)
24KDer Seeräuber: Directed by Henry King. With Tyrone Power, Maureen O’Hara, Laird Cregar, Thomas Mitchell. An ex-pirate contends with rowdy buccaneers and a love-hate relationship with an aristocratic woman who’s tougher than she seems.
“Well, this one really came as a surprise with Tyrone Power superb in a decent pirate movie – all tongue in cheek but in great fun. With lovely Maureen Ou0026#39;Hara playing the usual hard to get girl wanted by all, but destined for only one, everyone in the movie has a rollicking good time, and why shouldnu0026#39;t they when you consider some of the supporting stars, particularly Laird Cregar as Sir Henry Morgan and George Sanders u0026quot;hammingu0026quot; it up in his usual evil way. The Technicolor is magnificent, the settings superb, and as this film was made long before computer-generated effects, it was quite brilliantly done. The story was very predictable but who cares, as it represents great escapist entertainment for nearly a couple of hours!”
