Full Plot Details

It is the year 1830. In the Spanish Main, local beauty Manuela Alva, is living on the island of Calvados and dreams of falling in love with the legendary Caribbean pirate known as "Macoco", sometimes called "the black Macoco" due to his fearsome buccaneering and looting. However, her guardians, her aunt and uncle, aiming to get rich, insist that she marry Don Pedro, the town mayor, an arrogant and bullying much older man. She resigns herself to her fate but before the wedding, in nearby Port Sebastian, she meets by chance a troupe of traveling circus actors, led by the handsome Serafin. Attracted to each another but, while Serafin wants to woo Manuela, she refuses his advances claiming to be promised in marriage to Don Pedro. At the circus show, during a hypnosis act, Serafin learns that Manuela is secretly enamored of Macoco. This revelation persuades Serafin to resort to a trick to woo her. He pretends to be the famous pirate Macoco and he plays the part well, assisted by the complicity of his troupe. His performance is so well-executed that it convinces everyone, including Manuela, that he truly is Macoco the pirate. Unfortunately, it also convinces the local authorities and the visiting Spanish Viceroy that he is a wanted pirate. Serafin, masquerading as Macoco, is arrested by the Spanish troops. Despite his pleas that he only is a circus actor impersonating a pirate, he is found guilty of piracy, partly on fake evidence supplied by a fearful and jealous Don Pedro. Serafin, aka Macoco the pirate, is sentenced to death by hanging. Only a miracle can save his neck but Serafin and Manuela manage to arrange one.

Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Dan CallahanThe Pirate takes place in some Caribbean of the mind, with lots of shadows and lace and high mantillas, and it's all about the promise of sex; the film keeps tapping into a nervous, adolescent sort of fear and desire.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyConsciosuly campy, this musical was misunderstood at the time. While Cole Porter's songs lack his trademark wit, the sumpruous sets and exotic costumes compensate for the slender fable,the highlight of which is Judy's rendition of "Be a Clown."
Combustible Celluloid - 7/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonLike a warm-up to An American in Paris (1951).
User Review - 10/10 by Kelsey NGene Kelly as a swashbuckling pirate? Yes, sir! Honestly, why don't they make men like him anymore?
User Review - 10/10 by Sara FHow could it miss, it has Gene Kelly, a pirate, music, and just a ton of fun!
User Review - 10/10 by JoAnna WBeyond cool! Gene Kelly kicks ass in a pirate spoof with a drugged up Garland! Something to see: Ballet of fire and Kelly hot pants!!
User Review - 10/10 by Hugo FHonestly you will be aching with laughter. If I hadn't seen the documentary on the making of the film, I would think Kelly and Garland were making up the lines as they went. I think there is only one set with a bunch of doors everyone kept running in and out of and multitudes of silk, stripes and passementerie and laughter!
User Review - 10/10 by Lexie Knina nina nina nina... first love pour gene kelly
