If the readers may permit a little advice, as it's a sequel if you have de first Fortunes of the Captain Blood, you shall start watching the first one, if you haven't stay cool in this sequel has a short recap over the last happening on first, Captain Pirate was B-movie from Columbia easily notice by ultimate restoration displaying a lousy wooden sets, a lot of ship's miniatures also fortress on the shore, just the wardrobe is worthwhile a mention, on too many flaws it's somehow underplays this fine picture.
All happenings took place on 17th century where the slavery was at the height, now a Dr. Peter Blood (Louis Hayward) now fully pardoned by British crow living peaceful life at West Indies assisting those wounded runaway slaves at your house by steady, when appears the bleak Captain Hilary Evans (John Sutton) who has a strong evidence that Captain Blood Attacked Cartagena, thus Dr. Perter Blood will sending to British Islands to be judge for practice of piracy, his former crew is quietly gathered to joining him as old days, also aiding by his Spanish fiancé Dona Isabella (Patricia Medina) he sets free taken the ship and now becomes Capitan Blood again, his task is clean your name, he must find out who perpetrated such attack on Cartagena at your name.
Helped by a Spanish buccaneer Captain Tomas Velasquez (George Givot) who gave some worth hints who is behind of Cartagena's raid, Captain Easterling (Ted de Corsia), then Captain Blood understood that whole thing is a plot conceived by the own British Captain Hilary Evans that want take the power for himself betraying his country, a final battle will be on Spanish ground allied of the British.
Asides as flaws and little mistakes Captain Pirate is fully enjoyable swashbuckler pirate adventure, on technicolor improves too much into a stunning visual on shinning outfits, a colorful characters also is the main reason of the success, as the Irish Angus (Charles Irwin) as second in command of Captain Blood, the Egyptian (Jay Novello) sadly uncredited and finally the Captain Coulevain (Maurice Marsac) stayed out of the main casting, the battle at sea over the galleons are made by many miniatures, even well-crafted all them are discernible as mere scale models instead a full seize real galleon, it somehow don't scratches the picture whatsoever.
Thanks for reading.
