4.0 out of 5 stars Women love it, too April 19 2004
By Melissa K. Bourdius
Format:VHS Tape
(...) Yes, it's a bit "sexist" by today's standards, but have you read a romance novel lately? There is some odd appeal many women have for "reforming" the bad seed through love. Yeah, it never happens in real life, but who says movies have to be real life? I don't understand the psychology behind it, but I do understand a good pirate movie with sword fights, danger at sea, and damsels in distress. A great example of the classic Hollywood genre and I can watch it over and over!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Tyrone Power masterpiece...needs DVD release Feb 11 2004
By "cjrogan2003"
Format:VHS Tape
The most gorgeous movies ever made were in the 1940s and 1950s, and all were in Technicolor. One of the most popular male stars to appear in Technicolor was Tyrone Power, and this is another one of his great titles. It is a rip-roaring, exciting pirate adventure that is VASTLY superior to "Pirates of the Caribbean". Lovely Maureen O'Hara photographs beautiful in Technicolor, as does George Sanders (in a red beard!).

Fox needs to stop being so concerned about The Simpsons and The X-Files and start releasing all of Tyrone Power's movies on DVD, including this one. Tyrone Power was the handsomest actor in Hollywood, and his movies were some of the best ever made.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent 1940's swashbuckler Dec 24 2003
By Cory D. Slipman
Format:VHS Tape
Tyrone Power and the stunning flame haired Maureen O'Hara make a fetching couple in the colorful and rollicking swashbuckling costumer The Black Swan.

Set in the Caribbean in the 1650's, the former pirate Henry Morgan, played by the blustering and unfortunate titan Laird Cregar has just been named governor of Jamaica. He commissions his right hand man captain Jamie Waring played by the dashing Power, and his mates to rid the area of pirates. Captain Billy Leech played by the ridiculously red wigged and bearded George Sanders refuses to follow Morgan's orders. Aided by Anthony Quinn, complete with eyepatch, they set out to plunder Maracaibo on the The Black Swan.

Power, smitten with O'Hara, who plays the former Jamaican governor's daughter, kidnaps her and sets out to sea after Sanders.

Director Henry King uses a familiar Hollywood formula of adventure, romance, and attractive stars to create a pretty fair representative of this genre.

3.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment
This movie is a real crass act. Garish color and boorish heroes add up to three stars at best. Considering the good reviews The Black Swan gets, I expected more. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars D'arr!
The Black Swan is one of the great pirate films, in part because it manages to have a sense of humor without ever lapsing into farce. Read more

"The Black Swan" along with one or twoother such films can easily be called the very best Pirate films ever produced during Hollywoods Golden age. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars tedious
Far from being an engaging swashbuckler, it quickly degenerates into our hero's boorish attempts to woo the petulant lady.
