Reviews: “The Black Swan And The Mark of Zorro show Tyrone Power at the height of his career. This was the Tyrone Power that the public wanted to see, but who he got tired of being. He was constantly after 20th Century Fox and Darryl Zanuck to give him more challenging roles. Jamie Warring is another of Power’s patented hero/heel characterizations. When we first meet him, Power’s a totally unrepentant scalawag who has but one virtue, loyalty to the former pirate leader Henry Morgan. Morgan by all accounts was an effective and charismatic leader both in this film and in history. But that leadership is put to the test when the British government decides he’s the only man capable of dealing with his former compatriots. Laird Cregar as Morgan makes a plea for the group to turn honest. But there’s a fly in the ointment. A dissident group led by George Sanders and Anthony Quinn don’t want to give up the pirate lifestyle. It’s up to Morgan, Power and the rest to then eradicate them. Power at his hero/heel best is not above forcing his attentions on Maureen O’Hara the daughter of the former governor of Jamaica. Those attentions gradually move from the unwanted to the very much wanted, especially after Power and O’Hara are captured by Sanders. For the rest, well as they you just have to tune in. The Black Swan deservedly won Oscars for special effects and color cinematography. It’s unfortunate that today there are so few actors capable of playing the swashbuckling hero the way Ty Power could. He may have wanted to do more, but Darryl Zanuck knew exactly what the public wanted to see Tyrone Power in. It’s worth a look.“ - written by “bkoganbing“ on Also Known As (AKA): (original title) The Black Swan Australia The Black Swan Austria Der schwarze Schwan Belgium (Flemish title) De zwarte zwaan Belgium (French title) Le cygne noir Brazil O Cisne Negro Bulgaria (Bulgarian title) Чeрният лебед Canada (English title) The Black Swan Denmark Den sorte svane Finland Musta joutsen France Le cygne noir Germany Der Seeräuber Greece Ο μαύρος πειρατής Hungary A fekete hattyú India (English title) The Black Swan Italy Il cigno nero Japan (Japanese title) 海の征服者 Mexico El cisne negro Netherlands De zwarte zwaan Norway Den sorte svane Poland Czarny łabędź Portugal O Pirata Negro Romania Lebada neagra Serbia Crni labud Soviet Union (Russian title) Черный лебедь Spain El cisne negro Sweden Den svarta svanen Turkey (Turkish title) Kara Korsan UK (complete title) Rafael Sabatini’s The Black Swan UK The Black Swan USA (complete title) Rafael Sabatini’s The Black Swan USA The Black Swan Venezuela El cisne negro West Germany Der Seeräuber Yugoslavia (Serbian title) Crni labud ···················································································· ✘ Website: FOLLOW US! ✘ Twitter - SUPPORT US! ✘ Membership: MORE MOVIES! ► Film Noir: ► Classic Movies: ► All Playlists: #classicmovies #filmnoir #colorizedmovies ···················································································· COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
