1951
Directed by Jacques Tourneur
Sweet – so sweet that syrup is almost dripping of the screen – adaptation of rather harsh and fascinating real story.
But maybe because the film is from the 50′ and the main heroine is beautiful and has stylish hair and perfectly applied lipstick even through fierce pirate battles and after killing a few man , her eyes fill with tears only because the French traitor Pierre La Rochelle broken her heart, it was still pleasure to watch!
The real story though, is much , much more tough and extraordinarily : 18th century , golden age of piracy , Anne Bonny and Mary Read, two fiery pirate woman who’s paths coincidentally crossed and their life stayed connected since then on. The only woman who were charged by death for piracy. Feared warriors and yes there were romances, and illegal marriages and illegitimate children…but these are real lifes…
