synopsis
George Hilton is The Black Pirate in this multinational swashbuckler. Wronged by the aristocracy, Hilton seeks vengeance on the high seas. He proves to be as ruthless as he is courageous, though his heart is briefly softened by love. Claude Dantes and Tony Kendall add to the beefcake quotient in the battle sequences. The film was originally released as El Pirata Negro (surprised?)
