Adventure Burt Lancaster plays a pirate with a taste for intrigue and acrobatics who involves himself in the goings on of a revolution in the Caribbean in the late 1700s. A light hearted adventure involving prison breaks, an oddball Scientist, sailing ships, naval fights, and tons of swordplay.

United States	Variety	"Lancaster and his deaf-mute pal (Nick Cravat) sock the acrobatics required of hero and partner to a fare-thee-well under Robert Siodmak’s direction."	POS
United Kingdom	Geoff Andrew Time Out	"The film's strongest point is the opportunity it offers to watch its stars' relaxed, energetic stunt-work: never has Burt looked so graceful."	POS
United Kingdom	Adrian Turner Radio Times	"Most of the praise goes to Lancaster, who designed the terrific action sequences and puts in a mesmerising star turn (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
