Captain Scarlett - Color - 1953



Red sashbuckler
CAPTAIN SCARLETT is a real turkey that was surely kiddie matinee material six decades ago.

Here you have a princess" disguised" as a man in clingy shape-enhancing trousers that reveal what's missing up front, and a satin blouse that doesn't hide her naders too well. Capt. Scarlett is a hambone in red sash and cape who runs around defeating a half-dozen or more swordsmen with ease.

The only good thing to arise from the Technicolor stinkcloud this one raised is star Greene's collaboration with writer/producer Howard Dimsdale on the ROBIN HOOD TV show, another kidfest.

Avoid at all costs!

Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 IMDb viewer poll rating.

(4.6) Captain Scarlett (1953) - Richard Greene/Leonora Amar/Nedrick Young/Manuel Fábregas/Eduardo Noriega/Carlos Múzquiz/Isabel del Puerto/Jorge Treviño

A Classic
A classic movie well worth watching. Richard Greene starts his career as an action hero. Also loved his later films as Robin Hood.
