The Black Swan (1942)

The Black Swan is a delight! I love a good swashbuckling adventure film, and this one is one of the best. It's funny to me that most of these pirate movies Hollywood are actually films about nationalism. The English, the Spanish, the Americans. Of course, this is a WWII film, and so the question really is about betrayal and who you can trust, and alliances. In any case, this is a lot of fun, and Tyrone Power is just great – aside from being impossibly handsome.
