if youre at all interested in pirate and pirate movie and new orleans or early 19th century american history and or yul brynner and see this film for yourself and make up your own mind about it . don not be put off by various lacklustre review . my reaction to it be that it be entertain and well act ( for the most part ) and have some very witty dialogue and and that it do an excellent job of portray the charm and appeal and legendary fascination of the privateer jean lafitte . while not all the event in the film be historically accurate ( can you show me any historical film that succeed in this . ) and i feel the film be accurate in it treatment of the role lafitte play in new orleans history and and the love hate relationship between the respectable citizen of new orleans and this outlaw who be one of the city favorite son . don not worry about what the film doesn not do and but watch it for what it do do and i. e. and for it study of one of new orleans and and america and most intriguing historical figure .
