Review of The Buccaneer

I wonder why this valuable picture was so underrated, a true lavish production, the story apart some inaccurate little facts on dramatization for film purpose, it's enough attractive due this make part of American's history, a special meaning was the ship Corinthian for obvious reason, it's was the trigger that involved Jean Lafitte on war between Americans and British, Charlton Heston as previously already done Andrew Jackson is great, here we have how New Orleans was the key of America's victory, the cast of thousand great actors, however I would like to point out the staggering action of Charles Boyer as second in command of Lafitte supposedly former General of France's Army, amusing and charming character, also Brynner (with hair) sparkled when necessary, underpinned an obscure dark side of the real Jean Lafitte, a bright production that at last came to Brazil totally restored, but unfortunately no bonus attached !!!
