VHS Movie Reviews of The Crimson Pirate [VHS]
Movie Review: Crimson Pirate
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 58 yrs. old now. When I first saw this film I was 10. Got me into gymnastics and all around walking with confidence. Burt Lancaster is still my favorite actor. No stunt men in his films!!! When he was the age I am now..saw him on the Merv Griffin show...stood on his hands for 30 secs. Wow The "Flame and the Arrow" is the sequel to the "Crimsom Pirate"Movie Review: A GREAT Relaxing Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an easy watching, relaxing, humorous movie with lots of acrobatic action and a story to enjoy. This is early Burt Lancaster that many of us missed. If you want an evening of total enjoyment this is the movie to see.Movie Review: I did not receive this DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
I know this great movie from way back. I have ordered it, but it did not arrive. I wish still to get it, and if this review has any influence, maybe it still can be organised to get it. Surely someone has it. It is totally unavailable here in Australia. The same with "The Yellow Rolls Royce"Movie Review: Better than Pirates of the Caribbean
Summary: 5 Stars
It was fun to watch Burt Lancaster frolic on the ropes of his sailing frigate. After watching serious roles that he played in Elmer Gantry, Mr. 880, the Train, Bird Man of Alcatraz, and Judgment at Nurenberg, it was refreshing to see him back recreating his days as an acrobat. He is like Sean Connery. Dashing when he was young, and handsome as he aged. His circus sidekick was also a delight to watch, and, as a team, they were unbeatable. Burt obviously loved this role, as he is smiling from start to finish. A real adventure.Movie Review: Burt Lancaster at his funniest, totally outragious
Summary: 5 Stars
Recomended for anyone with a sence of humor. I've loved this movie sence the first time I saw it, too many years ago to count. Sword fighting, brawling, and misplaced (timewise) inventions. All done to tickle your funny bone. Too bad they don't have six stars to rate this.
Summary of The Crimson Pirate [VHS]
Released well after Douglas Fairbanks's and Errol Flynn's heydays, this good-natured Burt Lancaster vehicle is, nevertheless, a superior example of the classic swashbuckler: set in the 16th century, along the Spanish Main, this lusty adventure both expands on and explodes genre conventions. Lancaster, a circus acrobat before turning to movies in the '40s, gives what may be his most physical performance as sword-for-hire Captain Vallo, a.k.a. the Crimson Pirate.Nick Cravat, Lancaster's real-life circus buddy, matches the star leap for leap, somersault for somersault as Vallo's mute sidekick. The fetching Eva Bartok causes Vallo to throw over the Spanish for rebel forces, and a young Christopher Lee demonstrates the swordsmanship that would later make him a natural in Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers.
Director Robert Siodmak, known for his claustrophobic noir thrillers (1946's The Killers), handled most of the interiors, while Lancaster coordinated the tongue-in-cheek humor and macho derring-do. The broadly played action scenes, including the climactic 18-minute battle aboard a frigate, wouldn't be improved on for another three decades--by Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. The big difference: Harrison Ford needed a stunt double, Lancaster didn't. --Glenn Lovell
