Ricardo Montalban is a pirate with a thick Mexican accent called "Gordon". That ought to tell you enough about what's going to happen for the next ninety minutes, but it's still not a bad effort. He's actually quite an honourable pirate who has a bit of a thing for the governor's daughter "Manuela" (Giulia Rubini) but she's also the target of the devious "Romero" (Vincent Price) who is scheming to replace her father (Mario Feliciani). Sound familiar? Well, yes there's nothing remotely original about this - except, maybe, in the dialogue. When did you ever hear "hitherto" or "blackguard" coming from the mouth of a swashbuckler? It's actually quite incongruously fun some of the time. Price is terribly wooden in a role the likes of which he played several times to no great effect, but Montalban looks like he's having fun; Rubini makes for quite an alluring damsel in and out of distress and then there's José Jaspe with his (not very) menacing eyepatch egging everyone on nicely. Nothing new nor memorable, no, but I quite enjoyed this daft caper.
