Movie Reviews of The Black Swan
Movie Review: Rousing Swashbuckler
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a classic swashbuckler where the bottom line is that it is fun. Tyrone Power is extremely engaging in the lead role of Jamey Boy. Maureen O'Hara has the requisite feistiness as Lady Margaret that suggests the greater work to come in her work with John Ford and John Wayne. Is it redundant to say that the Technicolor process never loved an actress more than O'Hara? Probably the closest I can think of is Elizabeth Taylor. Laird Cregar makes for a terrifically flamboyant Captain Morgan. If you want another good sampling of this terrific character actor's work check out "I Wake Up Screaming" in the Fox Film Noir Series. Excellent story. Terrific action setpieces abound. The Technicolor restoration of this film is a wonder to behold. The makers of "The Pirates of the Carribean" should take note as to how a classic swashbuckler is made.Movie Review: MAUREEN O'HARA PROVIDES THE COMMENTARY!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The release of THE BLACK SWAN on DVD is truly exciting news, not only because it's a wonderful film with beautiful cinematography (to say nothing of two awesome stars, Tyrone Power and Maureen O'Hara) but 20th Century-Fox is going all out on this 64-year-old film has done a $2 million restoration of the film to make it look better than ever and if that's not enough the legendary Miss O'Hara provides the commentary on the DVD!! In a wonderfully bountiful year in DVD history for classic movie fans, THE BLACK SWAN will surely rank as one of the greatest DVDs of the year for those who love the golden age of Hollywood.Movie Review: Lots of fun

Jamie Waring (Tyrone Power), a friend of Morgan and "former" pirate tries to court the previous governor's daughter Margaret (Maureen O'Hara) much to her dismay.

Captain Morgan, believing Jamie betrayed him sets off after Jamie and the fun ensues.Movie Review: TYRONE POWER AND MAUREEN O"HARA AT THEIR FINEST

IF YOU PURCHASE THIS DVD AS I HAVE YOU WILL LOVE ALL OF THE ABOVE ITEMS I HAVE MENCHIONED AND FIND YOUR SELF WATCHING THIS MOVIE AGAIN AND Review: NEVER A DULL MOMENT
Summary: 5 Stars Tyrone Power stars in one of the all-time great swashbucklers, and participates in some of the best swordfights ever captured on screen, while trading salvos with the sharp-tongued, 'Technicolor Queen,' Maureen O'Hara. This is one of those 'Golden Era' treats that had everything going for it, from excellent acting, crisp repartee, wonderful villains ( George Sanders, and Anthony Quinn ), excellent action, and fiery romance. The cinematography is not half-bad either. Pirate movies just didn't get much better than this.
