Against All Flags (1952)



A British naval officer poses as a deserter to trick a pirate and her cohort in 1700 Madagascar.

Agreeable, but somewhat stolid and simply staged pirate swashbuckler; the stars' performances are the main source of fun in this one.

Halliwell*: "Standard pirate yarn, almost Flynn's last swashbuckler; production below par."

Maltin**1/2: "Although not Flynn's final swashbuckler, this was his last good entry in the genre."
