Storyline:
A Spanish-language version, El capitan
Tormenta was filmed alongside Captain Calamity. Roy D'Arcy Juan Torena, Barry
Norton and Movita reprised their roles (though most of the character names were
changed). Fortunio Bonanova replaced Huston in the title role and Lupita Tovar
served as Nixon's Spanish-language alternative, renamed Magda. Supposedly,
producer Hirliman had wanted Tovar to play the female lead in both productions,
but she only appeared in the Spanish version.

seize the treasure. Bill also meets Dr. Kelkey, loser in many bouts with a
brandy bottle, and his ward, Madge Lewis, on a mission to find the man who

with indigenous people in Brazil Brazil Brazil was Pedro Álvares Cabral on April 22,
1500 under the sponsorship of the Kingdom
of Portugal Brazil Portugal First Brazilian
Republic Portugal had very little interest in Brazil mainly due to the high profits gained
through commerce with India ,
China , and the East Indies . This lack of interest allowed traders,
pirates, and privateers of several countries to poach profitable Brazilwood in
lands claimed by Portugal ,
so the Portuguese Crown devised a system to effectively occupy Brazil Brazil São Vicente
(later called São Paulo Brazil 's
Nordeste) became the base of Brazilian economy and society, with the use of
slaves on large plantations to make sugar for export to Europe .
At first, settlers tried to enslave the natives as labor to work the fields.
The initial exploration of Brazil Africa .
Mortality rates for slaves in sugar and gold enterprises[ambiguous] were dramatic,
and there were often not enough females or proper conditions to replenish the
slave population indigenously.

[cartoon] Popeye
the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor (1936) [Popeye the Sailor Episode 41]
Director:
Dave Fleischer and Willard Bowsky (animation director, uncredited)
Storyline:
The legendary sailors Popeye and Sindbad do battle to see which one is the
greatest. In this short, Sindbad the Sailor (presumably Bluto playing a
"role") proclaims himself, in song, to be the greatest sailor,
adventurer and lover in the world and "the most remarkable, extraordinary
fellow", a claim that is inadvertently challenged by Popeye as he
innocently sings his usual song while sailing by within earshot of Sindbad's
island with Olive Oyl and J. Wellington Wimpy in tow. Sindbad orders his huge
Roc, to kidnap Popeye's girlfriend, Olive Oyl, and wreck Popeye's ship, forcing
him and Wimpy to swim to shore. Sinbad relishes making Olive his trophy wife,
which is interrupted by Popeye's arrival. Sinbad then challenges the one-eyed
sailor to a series of obstacles to prove his greatness, including fighting the
Roc, a two-headed giant named Boola (an apparent parody reference to The Three
Stooges), and Sindbad himself. Popeye makes short work of the bird and the
giant, but Sindbad almost gets the best of him until Popeye produces his can of
spinach, which gives him the power to soundly defeat Sindbad and proclaim himself
"the most remarkable, extraordinary fella". A subtly dark running gag
features the hamburger-loving Wimpy chasing after a duck on the island with a
meat grinder, with the intention of grinding it up so that he can fry it into
his favorite dish, but the duck not only escapes, but also snatches away
Wimpy's last burger in retaliation when he gives up. After sending his giant
bird, Rokh, to wreck Popeye's boat and kidnap Olive Oyl, Sindbad forces Olive
to dance for him by firing buckshot at her feet with a pea-shooter. Popeye
attempts to rescue her while J. Wellington Wimpy follows a duck around with a
meat-grinder. After Popeye disposes of Rokh and Sindbad's two-headed,
Yiddish-accented giant, Boola, it's a battle to the "finich" between
the two legendary sailors.

Wayson [Man (uncredited)], Gloria Williams [Woman (uncredited)]]
Storyline:
One of the strangest films to come from a major studio during the golden era of
Hollywood, "Ebb Tide" was promoted as "the first South Seas
drama in COLOR", and boasts an eclectic (to say the least) cast, including
Oscar Homolka (in his US feature debut), Frances Farmer (in her only color
film), Ray Milland, Barry Fitzgerald and Lloyd Nolan. Dour, pessimistic, and
full of tortured close-ups of Homolka grimacing, this was probably not what
movie-goers of 1937 were expecting. On the plus-side, the performances are
riveting (though Homolka is difficult to understand at times), and the chance
to see the ravishing Farmer in Technicolor splendor is worth wading through a
turgid plot involving three ne'er-do-wells shanghaing a quarantined ship to the
tropical paradise island of Tehua, where they meet madman Lloyd Nolan. There's
also an exciting storm sequence which was the "Perfect Storm" of its
day. Based on a story co-written by Robert Louis Stevenson. The only broadcast
print in wide circulation is edited and is badly in need of color correction.

gun-running windjammer commanded by Captain Morgan (William Hall.) All hands
are picked up by the windjammer, including the Commodore's daughter (played by

Storyline:
While the Captain is fishing, the kids plant a treasure map on his hook. The
rather dim Captain follows it to the island, where the kids have made it easy
for him to find what they've prepared. But what they weren't prepared for was
Long John Silver, who's followed the Captain, and kidnaps him and the treasure
chest. The kids head for Silver's ship to help the Captain. Fortunately, what's
waiting for John in the treasure chest is a wildcat, which keeps him busy
(despite breaks for the ice cream man and a low-flying plane) while the kids
untie the Captain. His gratitude is short-lived when he discovers they were
responsible for the whole adventure.

A modern day promoter is trying to sell a man the idea of searching for Captain
Kidd's buried treasure, claiming he has the original map. A flashback reveals
that Kidd was known to be a pirate and also known to have had a commission from
William III at one time, which instructed him to act as a unit of the British
Navy. A mystery, more intriguing than whether or not Kidd was hanged as a
pirate or was hung because he failed in his trust to the Crown, was what became
of the fabulous treasure Kidd took from the ship "Kedah Merchant".

terrible storms. Of this first film the director recalls the scenes
"scenes shot in Ischia , a beautiful

pine forests and to observe a peaceful people to his farm work. In the film I
called for a small part the comic Polidor (...)". In the film, it was

Storyline:
A battleship, manned mainly by dogs (and Porky), and whose captain sounds
rather like Yosemite Sam, sets sail. When the crew threatens to get to the mess
hall before the captain, he orders them to halt (and they do, some in mid-air).
The ship gets a radio message of a reward for capturing the pirate submarine.
The crew sets out in planes to go looking, leaving Porky behind. Naturally, the
sub comes after the ship, and defense is up to Porky. He manages to repel the
boarding party and winches the sub onboard with a plunger.

Storyline:
The British maritime meller Pirate of the Seven Seas first saw the light of day
as Queer Cargo in 1938. John Lodge stars as Captain Harley, a slick
pearl-smuggler saddled with a rebellious crew. Harley's men finally mutiny at
the precise moment that their vessel is boarded by pirate leader Cabini
(Kenneth Kent) and his band of cutthroats. Faced with choosing the lesser of
two evils, Harley's crew finally decides to cast their lot with the captain,
who has become the film's hero by default. Though filmed nearly two years
before the outbreak of WW2, Pirate of the Seven Seas was foresighted enough to
include a German villain in its cast of characters.

And the pirates, the map and the treasure disappear in a volcanic eruption. The
legend of the island draws treasure seekers for a few centuries, but the
treasure lies undetected. Cut to 1938 and Carter 'The Shark' Collins takes
possession of the island and turns it into a fortress, while he systematically
seeks the gold. He takes over an ancient mansion, installs a physician, Doctor
"X", his nurse Zanya, his butler, Hawkins, and Grindley, who has
plans of his own, since he already has a portion of the map. The possessor of
the other portion soon shows up. Meanwhile, Collins has his slave diggers The
Mole Men digging up the island looking for the treasure. Back in the states
reporter Larry Kent is assigned to go to the island to investigate the
disappearance of another reporter, Paul Thorndyke. A sea captain who has half
of the map is killed before he can tell the daughter... Episode: - 1. The Isle

Jamaica Inn is the headquarters of a gang of wreckers led by the innkeeper Joss
Merlyn (Leslie Banks). The wreckers are responsible for a series of engineered
shipwrecks in which they extinguish coastal warning beacons to cause ships to
run aground on the rocky Cornish coast. Then they kill the surviving sailors
and steal the cargo from the wrecks. Beautiful,
young Mary Yellan (Maureen O'Hara) is travelling to Jamaica Inn in a carriage,
but the driver is afraid to stop there and drives a long way past the inn in
spite of her repeated demands that he stop. Instead, he drops her off near the
home of the local squire and justice of the peace, Sir Humphrey Pengallan
(Charles Laughton). She meets him and requests the loan of a horse so she can
go back to Jamaica Inn. Pengallan warns her not to go there. Nevertheless, Mary
says she just came from Ireland Inn
to search for evidence. While Traherne is searching the Inn ,
Joss and the gang return. Pengallan takes Joss aside and tells him a wreck must
be performed immediately because he needs the money to escape to France France

Figlia del corsaro verde, La [aka Daughter of the Green Pirate, The] (1940)
Director: Enrico Guazzoni
Writers: Nino Angioletti (adaptation), Alessandro De
Stefani (screenplay) and Emilio Salgari (novel)

la Riva], Camillo Pilotto [Zampa di ferro], Mariella Lotti [Isabella], Enrico

delle educante, as Luigi Almirante], Primo Carnera [El Cabezo], Mario Siletti
[Il segretario del governatore], Nino Marchetti [Ramon], Giulio Battiferri [Un
pirata], Ori Monteverdi [Grazia]
Storyline: The film, directed by Enrico Guazzoni, was
based on a novel by Emilio Sálgari, author of adventure books widely read by
youngsters in Italy. Fosco Giachetti is Carlos, son of the governor in a South
American outpost under Spanish rule (Maracaibo, in what is now Venezuela.) To
make amends for his philandering lifestyle, Carlos assists his father by
infiltrating a pirate band that is threatening the stability of domain. He
wants to bring these bandits to their heels. Of course he falls in love with
Manuela, daughter of the Corsaro Verde (Green Pirate) who had been executed by
the governor. Manuela is played by the legendary diva-darling of Mussolini's
regime, Doris Durante. In her autobiography 'Il romanzo della mia vita', Durante
reveals that she was carrying on an affair with a doctor form Lucca during the
entire time the film was being shot in the Tirrenia studios. But that's another
story. The movie itself is very appealing in a top-of-the-line B-film sort of
way, replete with dueling, ship-storming piracy with some badly-directed
swordsmanship, superficial action, cartoon-strip characters. There is a fight
to the death between Carlos and a dude called El Cabezo. El Cabezo is played by
Primo Carnera, former Italian boxing champion. But the film appeals mainly for
the face, that devastating diva-face of Doris Durante. She is a true icon of
the Italian cinema, and whenever she is on screen, you cannot take your eyes
off her. Some institution should launch a major retrospective of all her work,
especially in America, where she is sadly unknown.

Lee, an archaeologist and leader of a scientific expedition into the wilds to
uncover evidence of a lost civilization. Soon Terry discovers his father has
been kidnapped by an armed pirate gang known as the Tiger Men. The gang is led
by the evil Master Fang, a local warlord who controls half of the natives and
holds the white settlers in fear, seeking the riches hidden beneath the Sacred
Temple of Mara. In his search, Terry meet the Dragon Lady, who is determined
her kingdom shall not be invaded. Attacked by Fang, his henchman Stanton and
the Tiger Men, Terry and Pat try valiantly not only to locate the missing Dr.
