help The Crimson Pirate FAQ
What kind of pirate movie is The Crimson Pirate?
"The Crimson Pirate" is a 1952 Technicolor swashbuckler comedy-adventure rather than a grim pirate drama. Burt Lancaster plays Captain Vallo, a rebel-minded pirate who gets pulled into Caribbean politics.
Who directed The Crimson Pirate?
The film was directed by Robert Siodmak, who is better known for noir films such as "The Killers." That makes "The Crimson Pirate" an unusual bright, acrobatic entry in his career.
Why is Nick Cravat important in The Crimson Pirate?
Nick Cravat plays Ojo, Captain Vallo's silent sidekick. Cravat and Burt Lancaster had worked together as acrobats, which helps explain the film's emphasis on stunts and physical comedy.
How does The Crimson Pirate relate to Burt Lancaster's earlier adventure films?
It follows the athletic adventure mode Lancaster used in "The Flame and the Arrow" from 1950. Both films lean on his circus-trained movement as much as on swordplay or dialogue.
