Leave your thoughts about The Crimson Pirate.
| Common Sense MediaCharles CassadyCarnival-like 1950s pirate yarn is fun for all. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...it works both as a movie parody and as a rollicking good adventure at the same time. |
| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostLight-hearted pirate spoof, with brilliant color and unusual science fiction elements. |
| User ReviewSarah Fthe best film of all time.. A MUST SEE MOVIE FOR THE FAMILY |
| User ReviewAnniina JBurt Lancaster takes his acrobatic past out for a feature length jaunt. excellent hokum. Watch out for the original use of an up-turned boat walking on the ocean bottom. Now where did you see that recently? |
| User ReviewJohan WA rousing and exciting pirate film! This ranks up there with the first Pirates of the Caribbean film. |
| User ReviewHaydn WPossibly the best pirate film of all time in the days before special effects and when actors performed their own stunts. Although over 50 years old, this film is still fresh and feisty and full of stripy trousered swashbuckling fun. |
| User ReviewSam EBurt Lancaster <> Amazing and Nick Cravat ! This Movie is full of Lancasters and Cravats' Stunts....... |
| User ReviewDave HThe Crimson Pirate (1952) This is my favorite Burt Lancaster movie and one of the best pirate movies you'll ever see. This is definitely what the series the Pirates of the Caribbean was going for, adding comedy and amazing stunts to the standard pirate story. This also has a foreign flavor being filmed mostly with British actors (is that a young Christopher Lee?) in the Bay of Naples, Italy. Ironically the Brits are the foils of this movie. Captain Vallo (Lancaster) is the Crimson Pirate, and with the help of his trusty mute side-kick, Ojo (Nick Cravat) and his men, are taking on what ships may come. They've just taken over a British ship of the line and are thinking of selling the guns to some Caribbean revolutionaries and then turning them in to Baron José Gruda (Leslie Bradley) for the reward, doubling their profit. Antagonistic seaman, Humble Bellows (Torin Thatcher) is disagreeable to the Captains plans and has his eyes set as the next Captain apparent. When Vallo meets beautiful Consuelo (Eva Bartok), the daughter of the revolutionary leader, all bets are off. |
| User Reviewjay nA fabulous film made before the days of CGI, genuine feel good movie that can't help but put a smile on your face. |
