It was released in October 1961 in the United States in CinemaScope.[2] PlotA Welsh captain (Ken Scott) and his crew are dispatched to the Spanish-controlled island of Tortuga, where famed privateer Henry Morgan (Robert Stephens) has defected from his support of the English empire and is running a strictly piratical venture, stopping any and all vessels, including English ones. Since the captain cannot attack the island without incurring the wrath of the Spanish government, he must go toe-to-toe with Morgan himself. A comely female has inadvertently ended up as a stowaway on the captain's vessel, and she becomes the de-facto central focus of the story (Morgan doesn't appear until the latter half of the film). She's initially deposited on the island, where she makes a halfhearted play for the governor, but eventually readjusts her sights on the captain himself. In the meantime, the captain is fully engaged in pursuing the pirate. Cast{{columns-list|colwidth=30em|
}} Production valuesTwentieth Century Fox produced a run-of-the-mill B-movie pirate adventure using actors little-known in the United States (the female lead was an Italian starlet whose English accent hovered between Cockney and Sicilian, and whose screen presence was compared to a sexy turnip), and inserting footage from other more notable seafaring-adventure films. The storyline was fictional; thus, using a real historical figure (Morgan) and endowing him with imaginary traits and actions left viewers feeling disoriented. The movie was not presented as a first-run release and soon began appearing on late-night television reruns. Rafter Johnson had just been put under contract with Fox.[3] It was the first lead for Ken Scott who had been under contract to Fox for five years.[4] References1. ^Solomon, Aubrey.
