Deacon Frye Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 A bit of "Crimson Pirate" trivia: its original title was "The Red Pirate," but this was the height of the McCarthy era, and Burt was called to Washington to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee about supposed Communist infiltration of the film business. The studio decided that, with this sort of publicity, they'd better not have "red" in the title. It was ironic on several levels: no real pirate would have caved so cravenly (far as I know, Burt had no say in the matter, it was the studio chiefs who caved.) Second, what sort of loon would think that linking "red" with "pirate" was somehow pro-Marxist? And we think we live in weird times. It's hard to beat the early 50's. Didn't Marcus Rediker write about those "Red" pirates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Young Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Alright folks I've been dying to ask this question... What do some many of ye think "Swashbuckler" is a good movie? "Yo Ho, all together hoist the colours high Heave Ho, theives and beggers Never shall we die..." "I don't care who ye say you are lad, if ye say 'savvy' one more time, I'll bury this cutlass in that thick skull of yers!" -Captain John Young - PILF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
