That's really all I can say about this movie. It's not a bad action/adventure film, but it can't compete with the spectacular "Captain Blood". While Louis Hayward does a good enough job as the famous doctor-turned-pirate (turned doctor-turned pirate, turned...), he's no Errol Flynn, just as leading lady Patricia Medina is no Olivia de Havilland. To be honest, I found her acting to be rather flat, lacking any real emotional depth. I also didn't feel there was any chemistry between them, at least nothing like what Errol and Olivia had.
The whole mistaken identity thing, with him having to take to the seas again to eventually prove his innocence, just seemed to lack something. Like I said, it's an okay film, but that's all.
