awful soundtrack - The Black Pirate review by VW
This is a decent looking print but the soundtrack is random classical music not matched in any way to the action. Watching a lighthearted scene of pirates up to their usual tricks backed by a string quartet playing a rather slow, mournful tune makes a mockery of the whole thing.

Swashbuckler - The Black Pirate review by NO
As expected rather dated but glad I have now seen Fairbanks doing his stuff.The sailing down the mainsail was copied
by Lancaster in the Crimson Pirate.Music was not needed specially as it did not fit.
