"Stab me, there's a pretty sight!"Charles Laughton is Captain Kidd, a ruthless pirate, who inveigles his way into a commission by the king to protect a ship. To do so he takes on a crew of convicts, including Orange Povey (John Carradine), who he marooned on a previous voyage and the mysterious Adam Mercy (Randolph Scott).
A fine adventure, helmed by Laughton, who was born to be a deceitful pirate. Lots of story and lots of action, not the best pirate film, but Laughton is always value for money.
