Swashbuckler | Year: 1976 Classification: Adventure Country: USA Language: English Directed: - James Goldstone Actors/Actresses: - Robert Shaw - James Earl Jones - Peter Boyle - Genevieve Bujold - Beau Bridges Excellent This was a great movie for it's time. Romance but not going overly with it. The cast is remarkable. Everyone was famous or went on to later fame. James Earl Jones did a wonderful job as did Robert Shaw in one of his best works. I recommend it for anyone who wants to have fun while watching a movie. Believe me it is fun. Still one of the best times I've ever had at a movie! I also first saw this movie back in 1976 when it was first released in the theatres. I bought the VHS tape as soon as it was available (paid $100 for it, too!) and now intend to add the DVD to my collection. Robert Shaw was one of the best and most versatile actors in the business, and here he added yet another memorable character to his repertoire - that of Captain "Red" Ned Lynch, a dashing, swashbuckling, lusty pirate, trying to free the people from the evil tyrant Lord Durant (played by the wonderful Peter Boyle). Together with his friend Nick Debrett (superbly played by James Earl Jones), they take us through an exciting and adventurous tale that has everything - action, romance, lots of very subtle humour (don't miss Beau Bridges as Major Folly, one of the best characters in the movie), and a magical score that will take you back in time. I've lost track of how many times I've watched this movie over the years, but it's one you can watch again and again. It's just as great today as it was 27 years ago. Don't look for any brilliant stories or hidden messages - this movie is pure escapist fun! Sit back and enjoy it! If you like "Pirates of the Carribean", you'll love this! Caught this film on HBO in the late 70s and have loved it ever since. The tree of the plot is your typical pirate script, but it is leafed out by twists of humor and wit - subtle and otherwise, excellent acting and wonderful photography. There's even a bit of mysterious kinkiness, mostly focused on a small part very well done by a pre-Oscar Anjelica Huston.
