The knife thrown at Simpson clearly has a guide line attached it.
This 'movie' has so many unintentionally hilarious and off-putting things in it that the whole thing is weirdly mesmerizing.The opening credits that say "Color by American" something or other only to have the entire film be in black and white...
Done on a budget as thin as dental floss Captain Kidd And The Slave Girl will never go down as a great pirate adventure. It certainly is nowhere near the story of Captain William Kidd.
Okay, let's not pretend, this is not a classic by any means, but actually turns out to be an enjoyable and undemanding little movie, with a lively and engaging lead performance by the much-underrated Anthony Dexter, as Captain William Kidd. In the co-starring roles, Alan Hale Jnr and Eva Gabor provide sterling support, and there's a pretty wild cameo from Sonia Sorrell as a female pirate, of all things!!
I'm surprised by another review that characterizes this film as briskly paced and Eva Gabor as providing "sterling" support. Even at 82 minutes the film simply crawls -- I had to speed up the DVD playback just to get through it, and I'm a collector of swashbuckler films!
Caught this movie one late night. I watched it just for fun.
Not exactly the best swashbuckler on the shelf. Lew Landers directs Anthony Dexter as Captain Kidd, who is saved from the hangman's noose by the greedy Earl of Bellomont(James Seay).
