this movie have great star in their early year represent ingor stevens never look pretty while yul brynner be a very convincing jean lafitte and conflict about his piracy and desire to keep neutrality with the united state . charlton heston do a pretty good job a andrew jackson and but some moment be a bit stilted . it really a good flick for student to learn that part of our history and and it show that all happy ending do not include the lover get together with each other sometimes the happier end be that they sail away and find partner of similar background who will understand them well in the long run . i have view it every year at least twice for 16 year now while and though it be not the best movie i have ever see and i love it every time .
