Storyline

- TriviaPassed by the British Board of Film Censors with a "U" certificate on 23 June 1961. Simultaneously premiered in London at the Prince of Wales (ABC), Harrow Road and at the Broadway (ABC), Hammersmith on 26 December 1961, running at both cinemas for just a week. UK distributors M-G-M decided against a general release, although the film was booked by a fair number of ABC cinemas and independents. After vanishing in the mid-1960s, the film was revived at King's Cross Scala's The Other Cinema on 19 March 1983 as part of a Steve Reeves Festival. Curiously, never released to British video or DVD.
- GoofsIn the scene where the Governor of Panama pardons 5 of the 6 prisoners during the festival, watch how one of the prisoners gives no reaction upon hearing his name called until one of the other prisoners congratulates him. Apparently the actor had such a small part that he didn't even know his character's name.
- Alternate versionsThis film was trimmed by several minutes for its dubbed release in the United State through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Featured review
a fun spaghetti-western pirate movie!
I caught this on the "Movies!" channel, was almost going to turn it off, but just got drawn into it. To be honest, I was never into "sandals'n'spears" movies which made Steve Reeves famous, so I never heard of him before, nor any other of the cast.
The flick progressed quickly enough to grab me and get me interested, and it didn't disappoint. It laid out (whether accurately or not, I don't know) Morgan's journey from slave to pirate, coming full-circle to give his former oppressors their comeuppance.
There's plenty of great scenery in the movie as well. Steve Reeves is *very* buff in this flick (no homo! :D ), and it's quite clear he's the square-jawed richly-maned hero of the flick! A bare-midriffed Consuela is also quite a treat, especially doing a slinky seductive dance, with more moving parts than a Swiss watch! With full-sized ships at sea, gorgeous sea shots, and so on, the film doesn't disappoint as far as scenery.
The ending seemed a little abrupt, which was probably the weakest part of the movie. I just expected a little more fleshing-out, or something... *more*. But even so, it was a nice journey to get there.
All in all, I found it quite enjoyable, and again, I'm admittedly not into swashbuckler flicks, so I'd consider that high praise for the movie. Enjoy!
