Pirate Trailer 1 - The Sea Hawk (1940)

This is the trailer for "The Sea Hawk" (1940), Errol Flynn's second pirate film. He had made "Captain Blood" in 1935 and had appeared in a number of romantic costume dramas in the intervening years, but "Captain Blood" was his first return to the full-blooded swashbuckling film.

The film was directed by Michael Curtiz, the famous director of "Casablanca" (1942). Flynn played Geoffrey Thorpe, an English privateer plundering Spanish ships to help the motherland build a fleet to counter the threat posed by the build-up of the Spanish armada; Claude Rains played the oily Spanish ambassador; and Brenda Marshall played his attractive neice who falls for Thrope.
