Lew Landers already gave us LAST OF THE BUCCANEERS, so he was not a beginner in that domain of pirates and sea adventures. He as a adventures and exotic movies specialist. It is not a masterpiece, not at the scale of Sidney Salkow's PRINCE OF PIRATES for instance, nor even Jacques Tourneur's ANNE OF THE INDIES, nor a Warner Bros stuff directed by Raoul Walsh, but it is a pretty good entertainment to enjoy, an interesting time waster. I only was unlucky to see it in black and white instead of color. Alan Hale Jr is the Tony Dexter's sidekick, as his father was Errol Flynnn's one on ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD. I highly advise this one to moviegoers in love with such rare gems.
