Pirates of Tripoli

Princess Karjan promises pirate captain Edri-Al-Gardian a fabulous reward if he helps her regain her lost kingdom of Misurata from Malek. When the latter destroys Gardian's armada, Karjan and Gardian enter Misurata in disguise in order to get Karjan's hidden jewels to buy new ships.

Pirates of Tripoli is a rather fun mix of Arabian adventure and pirate genre, with a nifty pace, a plot that always moving with some twist and turns and some lively action, ok some of that does consist of stock footage, but this is a low budget programmer after all. Personally I enjoyed it, loved the scene where they dive for the treasure box and the sword fights are well-choreographed. Paul Henreid is witty, energetic and charming as the pirate and Patricia Medina is just beautiful. This is a harmless slice of comic strip actioner with an endearing innocent charm, a feel-good escapist fare.
