Aubrey Wisberg and Jack Pollexfen wrote this Lew Landers directed tale that I found to be very interesting and I cannot understand why it isn't more well known.
Anthony Dexter is Capt. Kidd who is saved from a hanging by The Earl Of Bellomont (James Seay) who wants the Captains treasure. The Earl has his own evil plans which involve a young woman named Judith Duvall (Eva Gabor).
He plants he onthe ship with Kidd as a slave girl and then the Earl follows Kidd's ship while getting signals sent to him via lantern at night by Judith.
Judith and Kidd soon fall for each other and this puts a lot of complications onto the Earl. I found this to be a fun little film and it had a few surprises in it.
Alan Hale, Jr. as Jay Simpson, Kidd's best friend steals a lot of the scenes he's in. The rest of the cast includes Lyle Talbot, Sonia Sorel, Richard Karlen and Laurette Luez.
I was pleased to see Laurette Luez in the film as I have always thought she was one of the most beautiful women to ever appear in film or TV, but I noticed that she is uncredited and this film isn't even listed on her filmogrophy.
I recommend this movie for sheer escapism and for something a little different.
