Synopsis!
"The Black Swan" is a 1942 swashbuckler Technicolor film by Henry King, based on a novel by Rafael Sabatini, and starring Tyrone Power and Maureen O'Hara. It was nominated for three Academy Awards, and won one for Best Cinematography, Color.

Plot!
After England and Spain make peace, notorious pirate Henry Morgan (Laird Cregar) decides to reform. As a reward, he is made Governor of Jamaica, with a mandate to rid the Caribbean of his former comrades, by persuasion or force if necessary. He replaces the former governor, Lord Denby (George Zucco), but is not trusted by either the lawful residents or the pirates.

Captain Jamie Waring (Tyrone Power) and his lieutenant, Tom Blue (Thomas Mitchell), reluctantly give up their "trade" out of friendship with Morgan, but others of the Pirate Brotherhood, such as Captain Billy Leech (George Sanders) and Wogan (Anthony Quinn), refuse to change. Meanwhile, Waring takes a liking to Denby's daughter, Lady Margaret (Maureen O'Hara), who happens to be inconveniently engaged to an English gentleman. As it turns out, her fiancé is secretly providing information about ship sailings to the unrepentant pirates.

When Morgan is unable to stop the depredations of his old shipmates, he is suspected of still being allied with them. It is up to Waring to set sail to get to the bottom of things (kidnapping Lady Margaret in the process so she can get to know him better).

ONE PIECE!

@dragob732, ARGHHH, RIGHT ON. The acting alone is way better than any thing even Johnny Depp can muster these days. The fact that the actuallt built actual full size ships for these old films makes the fancy CGI creations of today not so impressive. Against all Flags & Captain Blood with Flynn are pretty amazing too.

@Jabberwockybird Okay, thank you very much. :)

[Jabberwockybird]

@HeroOfTime121 Wizard of Oz was made in 1939 and it has color. But a lot of things even up to the 60s were filmed in black and white. Color was more expensive, and not everybody had color TVs.

[HeroOfTime121]

Can someone explain why there is color in this film? I am sorry if I sound like an idiot, but I thought that color cameras didn't come out until the 60's.

i hear natalie portman sucks on mila kunis's snatch in this

[Gandalfgrey93]

This is the best pirate movie ever made

[Wolfen443]

@toxicsnake, Johnny Depp is the only one these days that can carry such a film granted, but sorry he is no Errol Flynn. Power was not the greatest casting choice for this film, but the spectacle at that time was more important than the average quality of the cast. Hey, they still out act anyone these days by a the lenght of a sword anyhow.

[toxicsnake]

@Wolfen443 You mocking the modern CGI is understandable, which is something I agree with, but you consider the acting in this flick better than Johnny? are you out of you mind?these people act slightly better than elementary school play productions, you can almost see the script just by listening to their monotonous portrayal of what they memorized.

[AsimanMs]

Tyrone is very handsome here

[dragob732]

@CRlSTO yeah baby yeah,thats the real deal!Better than movies today!

[dragob732]

@Wolfen443 that pirate movie of johnny depp had a complicated style,you couldnt understand anything,especially in the third movie with that octopus guy,One Piece is 100 times better than johnny deep movie!
