Directed by Mitchell Leisen
When an English noblewoman (Joan Fontaine) seeking escape from her loveless marriage falls for a dashing French pirate (Arturo de Córdova) and joins him for adventure raiding the Cornish coast, she must choose between following her heart on the high seas, or resuming her responsibilities as a wife and mother. A swashbuckling 17th-century romance filmed in lavish Technicolor, the film is possibly de Córdova’s most satisfying American outing.
