}}Buccaneer's Girl is a 1950 American Technicolor romantic adventure film directed by Frederick de Cordova starring Yvonne De Carlo and Philip Friend.[2][3]

Plot

Deborah McCoy, a New Orleans singer, is on a ship that is captured by the forces of the pirate captain Fredric Baptiste. Baptiste keeps McCoy captive but she escapes in New Orleans and is hired as a singer by Mme. Brizar, the proprietor of a school for young ladies.

Deborah is sent to a party held by Captain Robert Kingston, the head of the Seaman's Fund. Robert is also Baptiste. She discovers that Baptiste uses his piracy activities to subsidise the Fund, which supports local seamen. Robert is engaged to Arlene Villon.

The businessman Narbonne discovers Baptiste's ruse and sets a trap for him. Deborah overhears this and joins Baptiste on the open seas. They attack Narbonne's ships.

Baptiste is captured by Narbonne but Deborah helps him escape.

Production

The film was originally known as Mademoiselle McCoy and the Pirates. In May 1949 Joseph Hoffman was hired to work on the script.[4]

It appears to have always been considered a vehicle for Yvonne De Carlo. Paul Christian was originally announced as her co star.[5] Christian ended up being replaced by Philip Friend, who was cast on the basis of his performance in Sword in the Desert (1949).

Robert Douglas was cast as the lead villain, the first of a three-picture contract he made with Universal.[6]

Filming began July 1949.

The support cast included Ethel Ince, widow of John Ince, playing her first role in thirty years.[7]

When asked about the film, de Carlo said "What a dilly! I had six knock down, drag out fights in that one. And I was just recuperating from an operation."[8]

Reception

Yvonne de Carlo later wrote in her memoirs that while touring Argentina, Eva Peron called her to say how much she enjoyed de Carlo's movies, particularly Buccaneer Girl. De Carlo wrote "it later dawned on me that she could identify with the character of Deborah McCoy, who capitalised on her position as a prostitute to move up into high society."[9]
