O Falcão Dourado

Sterling Hayden is surprisingly good as a dashing privateersman and even good-looking for a change, and he plays his part well with many fights with swords and fists, in which as usual everything around is smashed to pieces. Rhonda Fleming matches him well with equal dashing merits and no less eager for fights and violent settlements. The colours are splendid, so are the costumes, and there are many rowdy scenes with drunken sailors and loose women and everything you could want from a film of wild buccaneers. The story is about the seizing of a town called Cartagena in Spanish South America which enterprise is not entirely successful. Still, the film is definitely worth watching for its great entertainment value and magnificent display of colourful life at sea among very robust pirates,
