Corrected entry: About halfway through the film, Burt Lancaster's pirate crew gets captured & hoisted above the deck in a cargo net. Pause the DVD during that shot and check out the horizon on the left side of the picture. You'll see what appears to be a modern ocean cruising prominently in the background.
The Crimson Pirate (1952)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Robert Siodmak
Starring: Burt Lancaster, Eva Bartok, Nick Cravat, Torin Thatcher
Other mistake: When Bellow is pulled up from the back of the ship after eavesdropping on Lancaster he is soaking wet, yet he was not lowered into the water.
Vallo: You've sold me Humble Bellows - and to a king's flunky.
Humble Bellows: Aye. 'Tis my modest opinion that no man can fly pirate colors who's not willing to sell his friend, his sweetheart, or his mother.
Baron Jose Gruda: Well spoken, Mr. Bellows.
Vallo: Foul spoken it is, Humble Bellows. You've turned your hand against your captain's back. Yellow was never a pirate's colour.
Slimy: Nor rescuing a fair maiden a pirate caper.
