The Black Pirate (1926)


THE BLACK PIRATE  (1926)

    D: Albert Parker
    Douglas Fairbanks, Billie Dove, Donald Crisp,
    Anders Randolf, Tempe Pigott, Sam De Grasse
A dashing swordsman survives a shipwreck, joins a band of pirates and fights to save a princess being held for ransom. A lively Fairbanks swashbuckler and an early experiment in two-strip Technicolor. Burt Lancaster and Robert Siodmak reworked some of it in "The Crimson Pirate" (1952).
