The Golden Hawk

The Golden Hawk is a 1952 American historical adventure film in Technicolor directed by Sidney Salkow and starring Rhonda Fleming, Sterling Hayden and John Sutton.

His objective is to capture a far larger 60-gun ship under command of a Spanish pirate, Luis del Toro, partly for loot but also believing him responsible for the death of Kit's mother, Jeanne Buoyant.

The Hawk lends her his flintlock pistol with which to defend herself in her cabin at night, resulting in her shooting and wounding Kit when he attempts to make romantic advances.

After several battles against Spanish ships Kit takes captive a mother and daughter, Bianca, who says she is betrothed to del Toro, and begins another love affair.

In a raid of Jamaica on orders of the king, Kit discovers that the property once belonged to Rouge, who is a British subject, Lady Jane Golfin, trying to retrieve the riches that have been illegally taken from her family.
