The Black Swan (1942)
There are no ballerinas in this film, Henry King directs Tyrone Power and Maureen O'Hara in this swashbuckling pirate piece. England and Spain are at peace now so former privateers in the Caribbean have to go straight, but not all want to.
Other than being one of the early films to be made in colour there is not a lot that is remarkable about this film. About all the plot points you would expect are covered and this is very much a by the numbers film. The characters are as simplistic as the plot and just about manage not to stray into being dubious stereotypes but Maureen O'Hara is little more than a damsel in distress who starts out hating the hero before marrying him.
3/5
