Viewing Notes

I watched this to wash away the bad taste of the Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides from my mouth. Ugh.

The Black Swan is a nice, classic pirate movie from the glorious ‘40s, starring Tyrone Power and Maureen O’Hara. It also features an eye patch wearing Anthony Quinn!

A fun, adventurous high seas tale, set in the carribean. Plenty of swashbuckling, sword fighting and cannonades to keep everyone entertained.
