Just the other day I was watching again, <i>The Buccaneer</i> starring Yul Brynner (Jean Laffite) and Charleton Heston (Andrew Jackson) in their defense against the British during the Battle of New Orleans.<br /><br />Best of luck with your writing, and should your readers want to know the real story about these rogues, I invite them to visit my website, Pirates and Privateers, at http://www.cindyvallar.com/pirates.html<br /><br />Fair winds and following seas,<br />Cindy<br />aka The Pirate LadyCindy Vallarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384766046352489256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-91742241593565236522011-08-03T12:19:32.567-04:002011-08-03T12:19:32.567-04:00I need to check those out...love classic movies!

I think one of my favorite pirate movies is The Buccaneer's Girl with Yvonne De Carlo. Oh, and I love Against All Flags with Errol Flynn and Maureen O'Hara. <br /><br />Jenn!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-21761272259275674962011-08-03T01:33:01.176-04:002011-08-03T01:33:01.176-04:00Thanks for stopping by today...

I am still holding my breath hoping Gerard Butler might show up on a ship as a swashbuckler... :)<br /><br />I do remember Errol Flynn in his pirate glory - some of us remember those days of lots of pirates. I wish they would come back along with some of those great westerns.
