THE BUCCANEER (Dir: Anthony Quinn, 1958).
Historical accuracy goes out the window in this less than epic war movie, masquerading as a pirate adventure; a fictionalised account of the real life events of the War of 1812 between the US and the British.
Famed privateer Jean Lafitte (Yul Brynner) is offloading his ill gotten gains to the good people of Louisiana, much to the chagrin of Governor William Claiborne (E G Marshall), while also romancing the governor's daughter Annette (Inger Stevens). The governor conspires with General Andrew Jackson (Charlton Heston) to put an end to Lafitte's pirating ways but eventually seek his assistance at the Battle of New Orleans.
