Lancaster has given the modern cinema more “pure enjoyment” than almost any other major star!

The Crimson Pirate, It’s doubtful whether any pirate ever looked like Lancaster, rigged out in a succession of exaggeratedly modish outfits and bleached-blond hair… He is the 18th-century pirate swashbuckler to end all swashbucklers!
With his mute, but athletic side-kick friend Nick Cravat, Lancaster leads an island’s people in rebellion against the tyrant Baron Gruda… His damsel is Eva Bartok, the freewheeling European beauty…
I don’t know how many times I have seen this buccaneer saga, and still I love it… The film provides lots of thrills and laughs, lots of adventures and excitement …

Great fun all the time…
Lancaster’s sense of comedy was evident enough for critic Alton Cook to call him “one of our most amiable and strenuous comedians.”
For me, Lancaster will be always remembered as the actor who has given the modern cinema more “pure enjoyment” than almost any other major star..

Burt never smiled brighter

The Crimson Pirate, Movies do not come any more swashbuckling than this one. Hey, we have pirates, the Caribbean, villains, heroes, damsels in distress, sword fights, sea battles, inventions, acrobatics aplenty. And all delivered with Burt’s legendary smile. It is not a genre spoof, but it does not take itself seriously either.
Watching this film one can perhaps understand why some people took a while to accept Burt Lancaster as a real actor. Not that his acting in this film is bad, but the excellent acrobatic skills we come to admire betray a different background.
