Review of Captain Kidd and the Slave Girl (1954) by Jay N — 07 Mar 2011

When I saw the title of this movie I didn't think I would watch it for more then 20 Minutes, I was wrong very wrong MGM has released this under there Limited Edition Series, But film openings show it being a United Artist Picture.

Made in 1954 with a host of actors and actresses. Anthony Dexter Plays Captain Kidd and Eve Gabor is the Slave Girl. Also in the movie is Alan Hale Jr (Gilligan's Island Captain), and the mighty fine Sonia Sorrell playing Anne Bonney ( Sorrell on played in one other movie 17 years later in Harold and Maude.

This film is about Captain Kidd being caught and hanged but he isn't dead and those in charge set him up to follow him back to his buried treasure. We see all the antics along the way, including putting up with Eva Gabor who couldn't be a slave girl if she tried.

Still its a great classic, and anyone who enjoys those old Black & White Movies shouldn't miss this one. 4 Stars.
