 A Good Swashbuckler November 9, 2009
Lionel Bourg (Natchitoches, LA---USA)
THE BLACK SWAN(1942)---Tyrone Power, Maureen O'Hara, Laird Cregar, Thomsa Mitchell, George Sanders, Anthony Quinn, George Zucco
An "all out" swashbuckler starring Tyrone Power "swashing and buckling" all over the place. Filmed in beautiful Technicolor. Maureen O'Hara is stunning as the "love interest" for Power. Thomas Mitchell plays an incorrigible, but lovable, "buccaneer", a la Long John Silver! George Sanders gives a good performance as a "brigand", and Laird Cregar and George Zucco play English noblemen/government officials plagued by Power and his band of "rowdies". If you like "swashbucklers", then this film is one you'll enjoy---it's a lot of fun!
 Not the best October 16, 2009

I'm sorry to say that I was disappointed in this film, I don't know why but I expected a better story and more interesting characters. It was really pretty boring and it seemed like Ty Power was doing a parody of pirate movies.

If you've seen Tyrone Power in "A Yank in the RAF" you'll recognize my review title--and, unfortunately, Power's character in this film, as well. Not as good as some in the genre, although there are moments when Power shows more of his ability. Maureen O'Hara is as good as ever, though. The film also suffers from poor plotting, unlike the book, and seems truncated--I suspect too many scenes were left on the cutting room floor, and as a result, character development suffers. A shame, as both the primary and secondary cast are capable of much more. Anthony Quinn has a part as a very minor character, but even with about three lines, his future greatness is obvious.

Power is in top form in this brisk, lushly colorful pirate picture. He's terrifically charming, which is odd as he plays kind of a drunken lout. But he's positively low-key compared to the rest of the cast who act up a storm. It's especially amusing to see the famously debonair George Sanders hamming it up as a bearded baddie. Maureen O'Hara is almost too convincingly haughty to root for her as Ty's romantic booty. But she's along for a great commentary track with Rudy Belmer.
