The Black Pirate

ActionAdventureDrama94 min

After pirates kill his father, Douglas Fairbanks is a nobleman who joins the very crew responsible, hiding his identity while he works his way inside their ranks. His cover deepens when he captures a merchant vessel for them, only to find a young woman of royal blood aboard; Billie Dove is the unexpected complication at the center of his revenge plan. Albert Parker’s 1926 silent adventure keeps its action on the high seas, with pirate raids, shipboard danger, and Fairbanks’ acrobatic style showcased in one of the first major features made entirely in Technicolor.
