      Martin B Arguably the worst period swashbuckler I've ever seen. The acting wretched, cannons and fort silly they were so poorly done and the dialogue so bad it was funny. Poor Donna Reed must have been embarrassed doing that ridiculous movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Silly and rather unmemorable swashbuckler about the pirate leader Barbarossa kidnapping Countess Donna Reed. It's not terrible, but it's far from Errol Flynn territory, both in terms of story and production value. Routine and really only interesting to see TVLand mom Reed play an exotic countess.
