Captain Kidd (1945)
Directed by Rowland V. Lee
Starring Charles
Laughton, Randolph Scott and Barbara Britton
In this unhistorical account, Capt. William Kidd is already a clever, ruthless pirate when, in 1699, he tricks the
king into commissioning him as escort for a treasure ship from India. He enlists a crew of pardoned cutthroats...and Orange
Povey, whom Kidd once abandoned on a reef and hoped never to see again. Of course, Kidd's intentions are treacherous. But
there's more to gunner Adam Mercy than meets the eye.
