The Crimson Pirate

I've heared that Burt Lancaster was a circus performer before making it as an actor. If that's true, the evidence is apparant in his athletic film roles.

Yes...another pirate movie! ARRRGH! But I love 'em. Bucle me a swash anytime.

This 1952 film stars Lancaster, Nick Cravat, and Christopher Lee and was directed by Robert Siodmak. And I'll tell you, I think it holds up well against any other pirate movie for thrills, adventure, humor, and personality.

Suitable for any age, this one's fun. Put on an eyepatch and include it in your pirate marathon.
