The Black Swan is a 1942 American swashbuckler Technicolor film directed by Henry King and starring Tyrone Power and Maureen O'Hara.

After England and Spain make peace, notorious pirate Henry Morgan (Laird Cregar) decides to reform.

Meanwhile, Waring takes a liking to Denby's daughter, Lady Margaret (Maureen O'Hara), who happens to be inconveniently engaged to an English gentleman, Roger Ingram (Edward Ashley-Cooper).

The Jamaican assembly is in an uproar about the rogue pirates, so Morgan sends Jamie to track down Leech, but he fails due to Ingram's help.

The Jamaican assembly votes to impeach Morgan, and Ingram announces he and Margaret will sail to England to inform the King.

Jamie prepares to follow Morgan's orders, but as he doesn't want Margaret to marry Ingram he goes by her house and despite her objections, gags her, takes her, and sails off.

O'Hara recalled that it was "everything you could want in a lavish pirate picture: a magnificent ship with thundering cannons; a dashing hero battling menacing villains ... sword fights; fabulous costumes ...".

[5] O'Hara grew very concerned about one scene in the picture in which she is thrown overboard in her underwear by Power and sent a warning letter home to Ireland in advance.

Which fact does not detract from those that Tyrone Power is fascinating....George Sanders positively immense as the wicked Leech, or Thomas Mitchell a perfect lamb as just a happy go-getter pirate....Maureen O'Hara, gorgeous in technicolor, plays a lady won against her will with skill and enthusiasm.
