    • Quotes

      Sentry: Pirates! Spanish pirates!

      Dr. Peter Blood: This is what I call a timely interruption! Though what'll come of it - the devil himself only knows!

    • Alternate versions
      Originally released at 119 minutes, Warner Bros. cut 20 minutes worth of footage from the film for its theatrical reissue in 1951, in order that it could fit onto a double bill with _Sea Hawk, The (1940)_, also trimmed for the same reason. The cut reissue version was also broadcast for many years on television. The film was restored to full length when first released on VHS in the 1980's; this is also the version later released on DVD, and now shown on TCM.

    Sabatini Would Have Been Proud...
    Practically the same cast that made magic in the later ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, but magic just the same -- they never made a pirate film that could equal this one, much less surpass it, though Hollywood certainly tried. If you only ever see two Flynn movies, watch this and ROBIN HOOD and you'll be the richer for it.

    FAQ1

    • Is this the movie where there is a shipwreck and Flynn is put on trial for shooting people who were trying to climb on to some of the crowded wreckage, which was in danger of sinking?l have looked for this movie for a long time, and this is the only one l can find that looks like it might be the one. Flynn's hairstyle is as l remember from that movie, even though l only ever saw it once, over 50 years ago.
