FILM Thursday, June 14, 20126 – 7:30 p.m. Pillsbury Auditorium Original musical accompaniment by Daniel Lloyd.
Douglas Fairbanks laid the groundwork for future swashbuckling pirate movies in this film. The 1926 high-seas caper stars Fairbanks as a man of noble blood who goes undercover on a pirate ship to avenge his father's death. One of the earliest moving pictures filmed in two-color Technicolor, The Black Pirate is famous for its action sequences and underwater images. Directed by Albert Parker, 1926, 94 minutes, not rated, silent with English intertitles. On DVD.
