How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A spirited Technicolor swashbuckler that treats its pirate intrigue and romantic entanglement with winking entertainment, delivering sword fights and shipboard intrigue with the energy of a matinee adventure. The film balances roguish charm against colonial politics without getting bogged down by either.
