    Yikes, this is pretty poor.... I saw "The Birds" recently and thought that I would look into some other Rod Taylor films. This is a hoot - he plays the dashing Sir Francis Drake with Keith Michell and Irene Worth co-hamming it up magnificently in this Italian-made Elizabethan romp. Edy Vessel as the love interest for Michell is gloriously fake and the score repeats the same themes in an almost comical manner as the plucky privateers battle the Spaniards to pinch as much gold as they can whilst trying to thwart the plot to put Mary, Queen of Scots on the throne of England. You really ought to see this just to watch the bendy swords as it swashes and buckles along - there's even a song!
