Not Quite a Treasure, 15 January 2001
7/10
Author: EmperorNortonII from San Francisco, California

This is one of Peter Sellers' lesser-known movies. And I wouldn't say it's one of his best. It's not the same quality as classics like "The Pink Panther" or "Dr. Strangelove." This movie is just a silly pirate farce. Not bad, but could have been better.
