THE CRIMSON PIRATE ($20) is, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable swashbuckling pirate movies ever made. With a decidedly lighthearted streak, THE CRIMSON PIRATE is a showcase for the acrobatic prowess of leading man Burt Lancaster and his ...read the complete Crimson Pirate movie review at Cinema Laser (Derek M.

The Crimson Pirate is both a parody of and a tribute to the swashbuckling films of Douglas Fairbanks Sr, Errol Flynn and Tyrone Power. There's plenty of silly, cartoonish action. The characters are mostly stock, however, and the spirited direction can't ...read the complete Crimson Pirate movie review at filmsgraded.com (Brian Koller)

One of the better seafaring adventures, pleasantly balancing swashbuckling action and humor.

Let’s face it, when we think of the one and only Burt Lancaster, our thoughts turn to a beach and some frolociking around with one Deborah Kerr in From Here to Eternity. But before those days, he actually used to be in a circus as an acrobat. Yes, ...read the complete Crimson Pirate movie review at DVD Authority.com (Matt Brighton)

The Technicolor print of this 1952 swashbuckler is gorgeous, and in some ways it is designed to show off its capabilities. Every time a character appears in a green costume the movie disappears. You are so taken by the rich texture and color you forget ...read the complete Crimson Pirate movie review at Doug Pratt's Laserdisc Review
