In this stunning Technicolor swashbuckler, the Crown pardons the greatest of the buccaneers Henry Morgan (Laird Cregar), and appoints him governor of Jamaica in the place of corrupt Lord Denby (George Zucco).

Morgan asks that all pirate activities in the area be ended...

When Captain Billy Leech (George Sanders)and his crew refuse the amnesty offered by Morgan, Henry Morgan calls upon Jamie and his pal, Tommy Blue (Thomas Mitchel), to bring the renegade Leech...

Jamie, meanwhile, set his eyes on Denby's fiery daughter, Margaret (Maureen O'Hara), but all of his advances are rejected... He has been unable to win her away from her fiancé, a foppish gentleman, who, Jamie discover, is conspiring with Leech and supplying the captain with information about English treasure ship sailings...

Angered by the continuing loss of ships, the government accuses Morgan of being in collusion with Leech, and the Assembly demands his impeachment...

To get his friend off the hook, Jamie decides to take action and track down the 'Black Swan' at sea...

Unlike Olivia De Havilland, Maureen O'Hara demonstrates that she was not that kind of heroine who would be satisfied to remain ladylike on the sidelines... If her romantic scenes still lacked passionate conviction, her hot-tempered, liberated nature and her beauty were more than sufficient compensation for most of the viewers...

"The Black Swan" garnered several Oscar nominations, in addition to Leon Shamroy's award for cinematography...

The film remains as a classic adventure spectacle with magnificent settings: 17-century costumes; pirates ships in battle on the high seas; pirates armory including cutlass, swords, pistols, daggers; dazzling swordplay; lusty romance; conspiracy in silence; treasure hunt; spectacular special effects, and exciting action scenes all the way...

# To help out the war effort, the actors tried hard to keep the number of takes low so as to conserve film. Roughly thirty of the scenes were done in one take.

# The ship in the picture was also used in the films That Hamilton Woman (1941), The Princess and the Pirate (1944) and Captain Kidd (1945).

# Although it is supposed to be based on Raphael Sabatini's novel "The Black Swan", in fact, the story is completely original, and the only character retained from the original novel is the historical personage Henry Morgan.
