Featured review
Dave : Donald O'Connor, is a shopkeeper who is falsely framed by the corrupt governor Elden : James Emery, then he embarks, along with his friend Tom Botts : Will Geer, on a pirate ship commanded by the local buccaneer Bloodthirsty Ben . Along the way, they avoid being murdered by faking a case of pox, the reason for the crew quickly flee . Later on, at Tortuga island he joins the feared and famous pirates Henry Morgan, Blackbeard, Anne Boney, all of them lay siege Charleston where the nasty governor resides and has his impregnable fortress. Soon after, Dave is deemed to be the bravest pirate of the seven seas.
Amusing and fun adventure comedy movie, being especially made for enhance the hilarious and musical qualities of the always likeable actor Donald O'Connor who finds himself mistaken for a pirate. Furthermore, there are two musical numbers performed by Donald O'Connor himself. This is a funny and bewildering flick with a disconcerting and little credible story shot as a fun festival of gags. There are enjoyable appearance of notorius pirates as Henry Morgan played by Roger Barrat, Captain Kidd performed by Alan Napier, Anne Boney by Hope Emerson, Ben Avery by Glenn Strange and Ben Wickett interpreted by Charles McGraw.
The motion picture was profesionally directed by Charles Barton , mixing comedy, adventure and pirate genres. He was an acceptable filmmaker, shooting several movies as cinema as TV, such as : The shaggy dog, Dance with me Henry, Ma and Pa at the fair, Africa screams, Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, Abbot and Costello meet Boris Karloff, Mexican hayride, The noose hangs high, Buck privates go home, The time of your lives, Helltown, Forlorn river, Thunder pass, Thunder trail, Desert gold, Wagon wheels, among others. Rating 6/10. Passable and acceptable.
