The Black Swan

(1942)Directed by Henry King87 minAdventure, Romance
“Seas ablaze...with black villainy, with fiery romance, with breathless deeds of daring...in the roaring era of love, gold, and adventure!”

Jamie Waring (Tyrone Power) is a pirate who wants out of the trade, and he gets his chance when his old captain, Henry Morgan (Laird Cregar), is named governor of Jamaica and sets about clearing the Caribbean of buccaneers. Henry King films the Technicolor ships and harbors at full sail, with Lady Margaret Denby (Maureen O'Hara), the previous governor's daughter, caught in the middle. Jamie has to prove which side he is on, and the proof will cost him.
