  面白い！

  Reviewed in Japan on April 11, 2021

  リージョン2、PAL方式のDVDです。日本で再生する場合はリージョンフリーのプレイヤーを使うか、PCでリージョンフリーの再生ソフトをダウンロードする必要があります。英語字幕はありません。 英語が苦手なので大丈夫かな……と思いましたが、映像が面白いし、各話のストーリーがシンプルなのでなんとかなりました。 あとキャラクターが良いです。見ているうちにどんどん愛着がわいてきます。ビーミッシュ氏なんか最高です。当時『海賊船サルタナ』という邦題で放送されていたそうです。

  This series is just as entertaining and fun as I remembered it as a child. It was in the days when kid's television was presented - I almost think it had to pass the adults' test before it was shown. The series are as I expected, inventive, fun - the baddies getting done it - but also episodes of understanding - for instance in consideration of episode the slaves in which Robert Shaw uses his wiles to obtain their release - an important point - many people today do not realise that much of the economy of the time was based on, for example, slaves working on the sugar plantations. Historically not as well researched as may be - but many of the characters, Vane as a pirate was a real person, for example, and New Providence was a colony on the very edge. So thumbs up for it and I hope many will take the stories as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote in his preface to the Lost World. This story is for the boy who is half a man - and the man who is half a boy. Excellent series and well worth the money. Ralph Smart, who was involved in this production later went on to produce the half hour series and hour long series of Danger Man which introduced Patrick McGoohan to a wider audience and is still considered one of the best secret agent series every made and still many years after completion still compares very favourably with much of the output of modern television.

  Nearly 50 years before Jack Sparrow there was The Buccaneers. I loved this series when I was 10. Allowing for the technology of the time, it's still a fun show, with good dialogue and good acting. Camera work is generally tight and the sets don't shake. I am still in love with Lt. Beamish, and the wary relationship he and Tempest develop. But after watching and rewatching 50 years later, I find Hammond's Beamish is the best character in the show. Certainly the most developed one. (And this close to drop-dead gorgeous). Shaw was pretty much playing himself. But Hammond fleshed out what was essentially a comedy relief role of a naive bumbler with authority figure issues into someone with real grit underneath, added the touchstone orf "King and Country", honor and friendship, and went toe to toe with Shaw's ego and came out dead even or sometimes ahead. The ad-libs and one-upmanship in this old series are just a tickle. I have no idea of what the professional relationship between Shaw and Hammond was, but the two characters really click. Pity that Beamish disappears after episode 26. The show loses some spark as Tempest has no one to really bounce off of. Beamish was the only one who butted heads with him. This is a Broadway musical waiting to happen. Someone please show this to Mel Brooks! A terrific Yo Ho. And thigh-high leather boots. . . .
