SECRET OF THE BLACK FALCON 1962 (LOVING THE CLASSICS)

I really tried to like this movie.

This movie couldn't decide if it was a comedy or a straight adventure film. The plot concerns a secret document that has fallen into the hands of pirates.

It also seems both Spain and England are interested in this document and so they send a commissioned pirate from England and the Spaniards send one of their best officers named Carlos de Herrera (Lex Barker) to retrieve it.

There isn't much action, but there is a ton of wannabe comedy and lightheartedness which just does not work. I prefer my films like this to be straight adventure, not a mix because it never seems to work, and I have seen enough of these to know.

You might like this, but I didn't. It never kept my attention. The rest of the cast includes Livio Lorenzon, Nadia Marlowa, Germano Longo, and Pina Cornel.
