The Sea Hawk
There were no long range cannon, submarines or mines in the 16th century. An attack ship got near enough to its prospective victim to throw grappling irons over the side, and board.
Rife with dramatic incidents that revolve about pirate galleons, their sails fullbellied in the wind, galley slaves and a plentiful use of the blunderbuss and sword, "The Sea Hawk" is Errol Flynn's newest assignment to cinematic adventure. Flynn is seen as the daring captain of a buccaneer ship engaged in piratical pursuits. Panoplied lavishly which includes two full-sized galleons moored in the Warner Bros. studio lake, "The Sea Hawk" is stirring adventure from the moment of its unfolding on the screen. Featured with Errol Flynn are Brenda Marshall, Claude Rains, Alan Hale, Flora Robson, William Lundigan, Una O'Conner and several thousand others.
A grateful ruler commentes one of her most courageous subjects. Queen Elizabeth (Flora Robson) rewards sea hawk Thorpe (Errol Flynn) for his efforts in Britain's behalf, as well as courters and Thorpe's light-of-fire (Brenida Marshall) look on.
