The film is a nice pirate-adventure movie , being well produced, and based on novels by Emilio Salgari , as two books : "Il corsaro nero" and "La regina dei Caraibi" . This classic story of romantic adventure come to life enriched by Eastmancolor cinematography in charge of Alberto Spagnoli and well adapted to big screen screen . Overwhelming battles and sword-play and full of villainy , romance , swashbuckler and heroism . Kabir Badi is cool as the pirate hero who encounters dangerous situations while trying to exact a merciless revenge . Bedi acted as a corpulent hero in several movies , starring historic , legendary and exotic characters , standing out in the successful Sandokan TV series also directed by Sollima . Accompanied by a gorgeous Carole André playing a charming lady who results to be the daughter of the powerful Van Gould . Support cast is pretty good with special mention for the extremely villainous Mel Ferrer , as well as Sonja Jeannine , Dagmar Lassander , Sal Borgese , Franco Fantasia , Guido Alberti , and Pietro Torrisi or Peter McCoy . And even appears a historic role played by Angelo Infanti as Henry John Morgan (born Welsh 1635, dead Port Royal, Jamaica 1688) , he was a known corsair , at death of pirate Edward Mansfield was appointed chief by the buccaneers . He conquered Providence island or Saint Catalina . Later on , he sacked the city of Panama , violating the truce between Spain and England , then he was imprisoned , but king Charles II freed him and named him governor of Jamaica .

Colorful and glimmering photography ; adding a typically catching musical score from Guidoi and Maurizio De Angelis , billed under their own names rather than their ordinary alias of Oliver Onions . Sergio Sollima's direction is well crafted , here he's less cynical and more inclined toward adventure , sword-play , violence and too much action . Sergio wrote and directed all kinds of genres such as Pirate films as ¨Sandokan ¨ and ¨ Black Corsario¨ ; Peplum : ¨Rocha¨ , "Spartacus and the Ten Gladiators" , "Triumph of the Ten Gladiators" , ¨Ursus¨, "Goliath Against the Giants" ; Thriller : ¨Revolver¨ (1973) ; Euro-spy : "Requiem for a Secret Agent" , "Agent 3S3: Hunter from the Unknown" , ¨Tanger 67¨ ; being especially known for his ¨Cuchillo trilogy¨ : ¨Run Cuchillo run¨, ¨Face to Face¨ , ¨The big Gundown¨. And this ¨Black Corsair¨that is essential and indispensable watching for Kabir Bedi fans . This is a satisfyingly attractive and thrilling flick that avid fans of the genre will love .

In the mid-1970s, Indian actor Kabir Bedi (*1946) became a busy Cinecitta Divo in the Roman film industry. Emilio Salgari's novels once again experienced a wave of popularity, and Kabir Bedi could be seen in a popular television series as "Sandokan" and in a few similar films. Of course, he fits in perfectly as the "Black Corsair" in a film by Sergio Sollima. As an upright fighter for good, Kabir Bedi cuts a dazzling figure. At his side are Carole Andre, Hollywood star Mel Ferrer and the German Cinecitta diva Dagmar Lassander as the beautiful Margravine of Bermejo.

After his years of success in the Roman Cinecitta, Kabir Bedi continued to make countless films for Indian Bollywood cinema. However, he remained in demand internationally, so he also appeared in the American television series DYNASTY. The versatile actor was last seen in the Indian historical epic "Mohenjo Daro" (2016) with Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan.

I watched this film when i was five years old and fell in love with Kabir Bedi instantly.

I have since watched it many times in the past thirty years and still enjoy it.

I think Kabir Bedi's eyes and smile are a reason enough to watch this film.

The acting and sound effects do leave a bit to be desired, however the story, scenery and costumes make up for that.

The music is lovely. Its simple but beautiful. Brilliant and will never tire of watching it.
