      • Trivia
        This film was shown on British television, on the Talking Pictures TV channel on the afternoon of August 17th, 2019, its first showing on British TV since the 1960s. However, although advertised under its correct title, the print shown was entitled "New Orleans Adventure", and it had a new title sequence, in which Micheline Presle was billed under her correct name, and not as "Prelle", as she had been originally.
      • Crazy credits
        Opening card: "This is a story of New Orleans in 1860. The story of a violent love between a captain of the sea and a creole girl. New Orleans, at this time, was a city of fierce pride. Pride of blood, pride of name, and those endowed with both lived on St. Charles Street."

      Hoary old Nonsense with Price & Flynn..
      I saw this on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) channel.

      This 1951 melodrama, with its Gothic overtones stars a dashing, if rather old looking Errol Flynn and a caddish Vincent Price. Lead actress is the French Micheline Presle and she's a dark haired gypsy looking type of seductress, falling for mariner Flynn, of the title.

      It seems set in the early 19th century, has stilted and corny dialogue that only the movies could endure and is, frankly, fairly slow and boring. One wonders why a movie with such a cast is not available on DVD, at least not on Amazon, not even as a region 1 and maybe that one has discovered a long lost gem. I've not heard of director William Marshall before and I won't be rushing to track down his other work.

      Those craving to own everything that the three leads have ever appeared in are the likeliest to get some enjoyment out of it, but it's difficult to find anything here for an everyday, modern audience. It's not actually terrible but when one often wonders what else one should be doing instead, that's not a good sign.
