Universal may never have had the prestige of an MGM, but it knew how to design a rousing genre recount (NOBODY did classic apprehension, better!), and these swashbucklers are substantial fun…with Errol Flynn providing a sterling entry in the collection!

“Against All Flags” (1952) : Nearing the ruin of his WB career, Flynn was allowed an occasional freelance assignment…and Universal welcomed him with a estimable comedy/adventure, ‘A-List’ co-stars (Maureen O’Hara and Anthony Quinn), and a old-fashioned director (George Sherman) . While lacking the grace of his youth, Flynn has abundant panache and charm as an undercover officer posing as a pirate, and obviously enjoyed making this movie. A bit of trivia: Flynn broke his ankle filming a battle scene, and during his recovery, Universal (never a studio to raze money), utilized the sets to film “Yankee Buccaneer”! Grand fun! (4 1/2 stars out of 5)
“Yankee Buccaneer” (1952) : One of the two pictures in the collection directed by comedy and action traditional Fred De Cordova (later illustrious as “The Tonight Prove” producer), this brawny B-adventure showcases two rising stars (Jeff Chandler and Scott Brady), and provides an early plan of David Janssen, in a slight role. While the dwelling (a U.S. Naval vessel poses as a renegade, to track pirate activities) is no big shakes, the fable never drags, and the cast is scrumptious. (2 1/2 stars out of 5) .

“Buccaneer’s Girl” (1950) : The second De Cordova-directed feature; while the title sounds like a typical RKO/Maureen O’Hara adventure from the ’40s, this is, in fact, a light-hearted pirate myth featuring Yvonne De Carlo as a misplaced Boston entertainer enthusiastic with dashing buccaneer captain Philip Friend (an elegant actor who never quite achieved major stardom) . There’s a lot of Lucille Ball in De Carlo’s comical performance, and you may watch TWO of Errol Flynn’s classic villains (Robert Douglas and Henry Daniell), on hand to provide mischief! Lovable pirates with hearts of gold, and righteous, elegant family fun. (2 stars out of 5) .
“Double Crossbones” (1951) : Donald O’Connor, prior to “Singing in the Rain”, shows his powerful dancing skills in this often droll, but likable itsy-bitsy family-friendly sage. As a meek apprentice who accidentally becomes a pirate, the film’s success relies on his charm, and for the most share, he delivers. You’ll never search for Blackbeard, Henry Morgan, or Captain Kidd more sweet-natured than they are portrayed here! Look for Will Geer, James Arness, Charles McGraw, and Glenn Weird, in supporting roles…(2 stars out of 5) .
These titles may not have you dreaming of running off to sea, but at this label, they certainly are worth a few evenings’ worth of swashbuckling!
As most reviews have stated this site is worth owning if for no other reason to enjoy “Against All Flags”. I watched it for years on TV and waited anxiously for it to arrive out on DVD. When it did not advance out in the two Errol Flynn sets I was very disappointed. This is by far a current of most Flynn fans. Those of us that especially like “The Seahawk”, “Captain Blood”, and “The Master of Ballantrae” care for it. A must have. The others in this Pirates spot are mindless fun too, fair not inspirational enough to have me want to peek the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean” or go to Disneyworld to go on the skedaddle as powerful as “Against All Flags”. One other thing, the DVD is sure and provocative and the color in “Against All Flags” is so neat it looks like a unusual print.
