Anne of the Indies (1951)
Today we have pirate adventure from director Jacques Tourneur which stars Jean Peters, Louis Jourdan and Debra Paget. A French spy infiltrates the crew of a female pirate captain so he can betray them to the British and get his own ship back.
Originally it was intended that this film would be based on the life of Anne Bonny but after various rewrites the plot bares no similarities to real life. The story itself is pretty weak and the characters are worse as they do not seem to behave in any rational manner, just doing what the plot needs them to instead. When it comes to the sea battles the model work is fairly obvious but not terribly so, in the end this film is just weak in nearly all areas.
2/5
