. or maybe not . pirate have always be a shaky element in film and until pirate of the caribbean . but back in 1939 and not even the roller coaster ride be in anybody mind and and film portray pirate might have look ridiculous even then . what be surprise about the fact that this film be outdated be that it a film by hitchcock and whose film never quite seem to out date and apart from his silents . yet and it the pirate that be to blame . even a master like hitchcock feel must have felt awkward in make this film and and a a result and nothing work . it become a dark comedy thriller with drama and romance and none of these genre ever quite mix in . charles laughton be not the one to blame and he possibly the best thing in the film . however and maureen ohara definitely have no idea of what she do and she doesn not even know what accent she do . still and the viewer must remember not to count this a a true hitchcock film . though the element be there and particularly the runaway element and it very weak . again and it be hitchcock fault and but it mostly the fact that this be a film with pirate in them and and they rarely make for believable actor .
