I think it's fair to say that Louis Hayward was just a little bit past his best when he made this rather dry pirate adventure. He picks up the character from Errol Flynn (which maybe doesn't help either) as "Capt. Blood" and works on a complicated plan to go into the town incognito, and rescue some of his crew captured by the wicked "Marquis" (George Macready) now used to fish for pearls - quite a dangerous activity…
