i would have liked the movie even more, i' m sure, if i' d seen the color version. unfortunately, the only version i could find was the black - and - white, which i purchased out of curiosity from a bin of one dollar dvds at wal - mart. anyhow ,
the dancing pirate
is certainly no masterpiece, but it' s hard to dislike this movie. it' s harmless, goofy, sort - of - weird entertainment (just about what you' d expect from the title), and the main character is a likable guy. unfortunately, the movie doesn' t actually contain any dancing pirates (the main character ,
a dancing master ,
is mistaken for a pirate), but the dancing it does contain ain' t bad. if you' re the type of person who' d consider buying a movie called
the dancing pirate
from a bin of one dollar dvds at wal - mart, you' ll like this movie, as did i .
at the gallows jonathan is seconds away from death when serafina comes to stop it as she has learned he' s a
dancing master
. to prove he' s a dancing pirate, jonathan does a pretty good tap - jig to a mariachi band and i can say that this is the first time i' ve ever seen a bound man in a hangman' s noose tap - dancing to a flamenco guitar. the men want to go ahead and hang him, but the women, swoony over his slick moves, want to save him so he can teach them the austrian waltz .

on his way to his aunt' s, however, he' s shanghaied by pirate recruiters, who have surely marked him as easy fodder in his dandy tophat and frock coat. this should tell you that the pirate life wasn' t as glamorous as errol flynn might have inferred if they had to kidnap crewmen from commercial ports. months later, jonathan' s an unwilling and cowed cabin boy / powder monkey on some pirate ship in the pacific. he still looks pretty good, though, hair still permed nicely, teeth still pearly, skin clear, he' s even been shaving regularly. befitting his label as the

we open in boston in 1820 and meet our film' s hero, overly chipper dancing instructor jonathan pride. as this is a movie from 1936, imagining what was sexy in 1820, it' s no surprise that jonathan is a super skinny dude with greasy curly hair, a pencil thin john waters mustache, hipster sideburns, and dorothy gale one - strap dancing slippers .

sooo... seriously, where were my damn pirates? i was (sorta) promised pirates by the title and the poster, ok, so i don' t think i' m being unreasonable here. they can be dancing and singing for all i care, i just want pirates doing piratey things out of a movie with
pirate
in the title, is that too much to ask for ?
to a cribbed instrumental version of

( seriously), jonathan wanders into town and is greeted by a hurricane of gunfire by the clueless residents who are sure he' s a pirate despite his capri pants and fancy silk scarf. his dancing skill allows him to bend, neo - like, around the bullets and escape to hide in, of all places, serafina' s room. they squabble, they fight, she calls him a dirty pirate and he calls her a nut job, but their eyes twinkle nonetheless. not exactly a meet - cute, but in the end it' ll work out. he' s then captured by the townspeople .
when you' re dancing the waltz
, a rare rodgers and hart number from the obscure technicolor film
dancing pirate
. as usual, the waltz is rodgers metier, and in this case it' s the fulcrum of the entire plot of the film (not unlike the similarly silly
can can
). dubbed and remastered from the soundtrack. seems to have been created for the latin american market, though it did get an oscar nomination at the time it was released (not one of the major categories). there is another r / h number in the film as well. it sounds better here than it looks in the film; though talented the leads are not hollywood standard level then or now. sung by charles collins .
very interesting re dancing pirate. after thinking it was a lost film, found a copy in a local charity shop which was pretty hard going. i hadn' t realised it was a cinecolor print, although perhaps i could have guessed, knowing the fate of becky sharp in the 1940s. since then, it has been a choice between a rough colour copy or a crisp b / w white one. nice to know we will be able to see it in its former glory once again ...
eventually, he largely forgets his terrible voyage; he has a family and a peaceful life, except for one legacy of that trip that remains: for the rest of his life, he cannot stand hearing music because it reminds him of the slaves' tormented dancing .
henslowe isn' t good at managing money, but he swears he' s good at managing talent. he promises a new play soon, one sure to fill seats: a comedy by william shakespeare called romeo and ethel, the pirate' s daughter .
seriously, what ever happened to the umbrella? i hate it when they leave you hanging... the man, frank morgan, that played the wizard (et al) in the wizard of oz is in this. i can see what ed is saying: it was entertaining and it had so much potential, but sadly, the delivery comes out on the mediocre side. i get the feeling there was tension on the set or something, there' s just something one degree off about the dynamic between actors and even the balance between the story and all of the dancing. i can only imagine how grand this film would have been in color. the sets and costumes are quite rich. there was lots of singing and dancing, i mean it is called
dancing pirate
, but i don' t know if it was any good because i don' t like that kind of thing... but what i did see / hear was entertaining enough and i am not at all sorry i watched it. i only gave it three stars, but i still highly recommend viewing it .
jonathan pride is a mild - mannered dance instructor in 1820 boston. en route to visit relatives, jonathan is shanghaied by a band of zany pirates and forced to work as a galley boy. when the pirate vessel arrives at the port of las palomas, jonathan, clad in buccaneer' s garb, makes his escape. everyone in las palomas, including governor alcalde (frank morgan) and fetching senorita serafina (steffi duna), assumes that jonathan is the pirate chieftain, leading to a series of typical comic - opera complications .
operetta, musical - dramatic production similar in structure to a light opera but characteristically having a romantically sentimental plot interspersed with songs, orchestral music, and rather elaborate dancing scenes, along with spoken dialogue. the operetta originated in part with the tradition of popular theatrical genres such as the commedia dell’arte that flourished in…
as the years pass, the horror of the voyage recedes in his consciousness, and he doesn' t think about it every day. he marries and has a family. one thing, however, remains from the voyage: he cannot stand the sound of music because it reminds him of dancing the slaves :
so could dead men tell no tales see jack sparrow bow out and pass the pirate baton to will turner, or even to his son? that feels like a risk for a franchise so dependent on its eccentric lead character, but stranger things have happened. did we mention paul mccartney ?
an old - fashioned, fairly predictable hootenanny. a man must literally dance to save his neck from the noose. plot is a bit confusingly frontloaded and the remainder feels like filler to arrive at feature length. emphasis is on dancing, not on pirates. meandering. inconsequential. that was... a disappointment .
[ 4 ], 20 - 29. slothrop, trying to gain access to bomb - impact site, sees pirate retrieve his message. we learn more about the map, about
operational paranoia ,
and a bit about slothrop' s new england family :
they did not prosper .
what i would like to know is why such influential and intelligent people involved with pioneer pictures chose such an inane (my opinion) screenplay for this movie? at least becky sharp had an interesting plot and excellent sets and art direction. dancing pirate seemed to ignore all the good things about their first feature. was the budget so weak for this movie that no major stars could appear? i' ve got this in both the b & w reissue and the cinecolor transfer, but either way it certainly doesn' t entertain - - - unless audiences would accept anything in color back then. this begs the further question - - is it any wonder pioneer pictures folded ?
a local shepherd sees the pirate ship anchored offshore and alerts the residents of an old spanish - era colonial coastal town named las palomas. the adobe - and - chicken town is full of old wrinkly italians with fake spanish accents, old wrinkly italians with fake american indian accents, and a surprising amount of young, athletic 20 - year olds who look like studio dancers (with fake spanish accents). and, oddly, the town' s plaza seems to be a large wooden dancing platform, as if they were just waiting for an excuse to have a town - wide clogging contest or hoping a traveling troupe of fly b - bop boy band dancers would ride through one day .
for at the first note of a tune or a song, i would see once again as though they' d never ceased their dancing in my mind, black men and women and children lifting their tormented limbs in time to a reedy martial air, the dust rising from their joyless thumping, the sound of the fife finally drowned beneath the clanging of their chains .

what we have for you today is a classic old rko musical from 1936, full of dancing and singing and whimsy and... and, ah, you know what? screw it, you don' t really want to read a 3, 000 word review of a crappy, nearly - forgotten musical from roosevelt' s second term, do you? and if you do, then, you know, really ?
thirteen - year - old jessie bollier makes a few pennies each day by playing his fife in the rougher districts of 1840s new orleans. he, his mother, and his young sister betty are very poor, and they own almost nothing, living in a single damp room on pirate' s alley where his mother works as a seam - stress for the wealthy women of new orleans .

the major - general, having admitted to the girls that, in fact, he is no orphan, is pleased to hear from frederic that the young man wants to join a band of policemen against the pirates. before frederic can do so, however, ruth and the pirate king come to inform him of a new discovery. frederic, it seems, was born on leap day (february 29), a day that occurs every four years, and so, though he has lived 21 years, he has had far fewer birthdays. his indenture papers commit him to remain a pirate until his “21st birthday, ” not his “21st year. ” this will not occur for more than half a century. frederic—a “slave of duty, ” as the operetta’s subtitle has it—acknowledges his duty and returns to the pirates, first extracting mabel’s promise to wait for him until he officially comes of age .
that gang of ghost pirates is led by a new villain, javier bardem' s captain salazar, who' s determined to kill every single pirate on the seas but especially his old enemy, jack sparrow. we' re not sure where geoffrey rush' s regular villain captain barbossa figures into all this, but he' s back, as is orlando bloom' s will turner (who has already hinted at his role in the movie) .
jonathan escapes the pirate ship to shore, incredibly still with his aunt' s umbrella and his crank music box, and wanders inland looking for refuge. at the sight of the boat, the townspeople flip out and load up their muskets and hide the women. in a rather cute bit, the mayor finds a wee - little kitten inside the barrel of a cannon. i can only imagine what they had to do to get that cat in that cannon ...

in jail, he writes a letter to his aunt, lamenting that he can' t return her umbrella in a timely manner (that umbrella just won' t go away). serafina realizes, by dancing with her maid, that he wasn' t copping a feel after all. she gets him out of jail and they dance the forbidden waltz in the darkened courtyard to the accompaniment of a tinny string quartet. there' s some real chemistry here, i have to admit, though from the looks of the townspeople serafina has had to pick from (woof), the rail - thin, elway - toothed jonathan might as well be brad pitt circa 1996 .
i was unable to listen to music. i could not bear to hear a woman sing, and at the sound of any instrument, a fiddle, a flute, a drum, a comb with paper wrapped around it played by my own child, i would leave instantly and shut myself away. for at the first note of a tune or of a song, i would see once again, as though they' d never ceased their dancing in my mind, black men and women and children lifting their tormented limbs in time to a reedy martial air, the dust rising from their joyless thumping, the sound of the fife finally drowned beneath the clanging of their chains .
sullivan also spoofs operatic conventions, particularly one employed by many serious operas of the time that called for characters to sing onstage at the same time yet remain oblivious to each other’s presence. the trick is especially humorous in act ii, when the pirate - hunting policemen fail to notice those pirates who have just stalked onstage singing “with cat - like tread, ” for which sullivan specified a fortissimo dynamic. another opera insiders’ joke occurs in mabel’s entrance aria, in which she and a solo flute engage in a highly ornamented duet that would have brought to many opera lovers’ minds the similar interchange in the mad scene of gaetano donizetti ’s lucia di lammermoor .
jessie plays the fife, and his job is to make music to which, for brief periods daily, the slaves can exercise. this is called dancing the slaves. the aim is to keep them (relatively) healthy and therefore marketable, in spite of the crowded and filthy conditions in which they live. a slave has no human value but has a financial one: a dead slave is a lost profit. as the voyage goes on, the slaves, crammed together in the reeking hold, become sick, half - starved and hopeless, most of them suffering from' the bloody flux', an affliction that makes the latrine buckets inadequate. and jesse finds that' a dreadful thing' is happening in his mind :
their ship is the moonlight, a ship bound for africa, under captain cawthorne, a man so brutal that when he meets jessie, he bites jessie' s ear hard enough to draw blood. captain cawthorne tells jessie that the moonlight is a slave ship, involved in a
lucrative and god - granted trade ,
and that anyone who tries to interfere with it is a pirate. jessie will play his fife to make the slaves
dance
once they are on board; this exercise will keep them strong and fit so that they will bring in more money when they are sold. in addition, he is expected to help around the ship .
wow! this is a really funny dancing musical comedy. i could not help but notice that the movie was filmed in technicolor. the version here is black and white. the dance numbers will be fantastic to view again and again if a color version becomes available. charles collins was good enough that i am going to search for more of his films. frank morgan was funny enough for me to want to watch the wizard of oz again and i was disappointed to see that netflix didn' t have anything on the love interest. . steffi duna. this movie is a prime example of what makes digging through this site worth while. please! !! somebody find and post a color version... soon. 5 stars .
gilbert and sullivan’s most popular show, the pirates of penzance, is a rollicking, delightfully funny tale of a band of soft - tempered pirates. mistakenly apprenticed to a pirate (instead of a pilot) by his nursemaid ruth at the age of eight, the handsome frederic is now twenty - one and, though quite fond of the group of joyous and fun - loving pirates, chooses to abandon his profession and “lead a blameless life henceforth, ” dedicating himself instead to their eradication. shortly after leaving them, he encounters a gaggle of beautiful maidens (one of whom, mabel, steals his heart) and their father, the eccentric major - general. the whole group has a run - in with the pirates themselves before escaping on the false premise that the major - general is an orphan - - a fact these tenderhearted pirates simply cannot help but take into account, given the fact that the majority of them are orphans themselves and “know what it’s like. ” just as frederic is ready to lead a band of lily - livered policemen to take out the pirate king and his men, a secret is uncovered that will change his fate forever, but, naturally, all comes out right in the end. beloved since its premiere in 1879, the pirates of penzance (or the slave of duty) is a delightful farce of a classic that is fun for all ages .
jonathan isn' t taking all this lying down, of course, and we see him go out to the loincloth - wearing italian guys of the local american indian tribe and talk them into joining him in attacking the town and saving the fair girl. because he' s awesome, he even teaches the indians how to do a better war dance, as their' s is severely lacking in tap - dancing and pirouettes. as to why indians would risk their lives to help a white guy defeat a bunch of mexicans to win the heart of a hungarian girl when they clearly don' t have a dog in this fight, who knows? i guess movie producers in 1936 didn' t know much about native americans. then again, all i know about indians is what i learned by watching the
captain of the moonlight, he is a ruthless man with a capricious temper, who, when he first meets jessie, picks him up and bites his ear hard enough to draw blood, as a sort of warning about who' s boss on the ship. his crew is afraid of him, although they know that on other ships there are captains who are worse. he lives in relative luxury on the ship, with private quarters, good food, and plenty of water, when the others do without, and he does not hesitate to flog purvis when he is accused of stealing an egg from the captain' s hen. he is single - mindedly devoted to profit and despises the anti - slavery british ships that run down slavers and confiscate their slaves and their profits. he also despises the african chiefs who sell their own people to the slavers. eventually, jessie realizes ,
i was on a ship engaged in an illegal venture, and captain cawthorne was no better than a pirate .

throughout its 214 - year history, mission santa inés has overcome natural disasters, political turmoil, and financial hardships to emerge as one of the most successful of the alta california missions. the mission has endured a rebellion, social upheaval, neglect, and decay only to rise again through restoration and repair as one of the hidden gems of the california mission chain .
in order to acculturate the chumash of the santa ynez valley into the spanish way of life, and to serve as a link between the missions of santa barbara and la purisima concepción in lompoc, mission santa inés was established in 1804. while still in its formative years, the mission was devastated by the great earthquake of 1812. the mission continued to rebuild and repair and actually became very prosperous during the first part of the 19th century when the chumash population was at its highest. the mission acreage produced plentiful harvests, and its livestock numbered in the thousands. mission santa inés also became linked to one of the early anglo settlers in california .
after mexican independence from spain in 1821, secularization caused the departure of the spanish missionaries, most of the chumash neophytes, and the decline of the mission. during this period the first college seminary was temporarily established at mission santa inés in 1844. the mission would have fallen into complete ruin were it not for the arrival of the donahue family in 1882 and fr. alexander buckler in 1904. fr. buckler began the repair of the mission building and enlisted the talents of his niece, mamie goulet, to restore the art and vestment collections left at the mission. the capuchin franciscan friars from ireland arrived in 1924 after the retirement of fr. buckler. they continued the restoration of the mission buildings, gardens, and established the mission museum .
today the parish continues to restore and preserve the
mission of the passes
to serve the greater community. old mission santa inés is proud and honored to be the guardian of a rich collection of paintings, statuary, vestments, manuscripts, and artifacts .
group tours * docent guided - $ 6. 00 per person over 11 years self guided - $ 5. 00 per person over 11 years
we the people of old mission santa inés, following the path of jesus christ, are making his vision a reality through love, unity, justice, joy and hope .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans. it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for wide - release movies, 40 for limited - release movies, 20 for tv shows), including 5 reviews from top critics .
this romantic adventure is most notable for its early use of technicolor. the film tells the story of a boston dance teacher who is hijacked by pirates and taken towards the caribbean. en route the dancer jumps ship and lands in mexico. there he begins a romance with the mayor' s daughter. included in the film are songs by rodgers and hart .

you do? seriously? you know it' s pre - code, right? that means no boobs, no exploding helicopters, no cussing, no drugs, no rock' n' roll, none of the fun stuff, understand? and no color, either, despite all that hype about how this was filmed in technicolor, any prints still existing have been washed out to various shades of gray. did i mention
jonathan is teaching that newfangled european waltz to uptight bostonian socialites, but they are aghast when he tells the men to put their hands on their partners' waists during the dance. as far as these staunchly conservative puritans are concerned, he might as well have suggested an underage interracial orgy. i suppose i could cry foul at this oft - repeated assumption that people in the olde timey 1800s were too prim and proper to have sex, seeing as how figures on teenage pregnancy rates and births - per - woman were pretty astronomical back then (that' s where babies come from ...). of course, corresponding rates for maternal and infant mortality were simply appalling, and did you know that life expectancy was just 36 on the us east coast in 1800, can you believe that ?
anyway, to get us in the mood, they have jonathan do a little fred astaire - ish sorta tap dancy thingie for us. he' s got some moves, i' ll admit, and he' s sure light on his feet, but he' s just so scrawny that he looks like an 11 - year old girl at cheerleader camp. as he leaves his studio, jonathon makes a really big deal about having to return his aunt' s umbrella. remember the umbrella, ok ?
ah, pirates, the scourge of the open seas. what do i know of pirates? well, i suspect i know as much as your average middle - class white american, which falls into three categories :
to break that down further, on point one i know that the pirates suck (again) and will always suck (forever) because they are a small - market team in a football town. and their uniforms from the 1970s were awesome .
franchise did a remarkably good job of showing what pirates actually looked (and smelled) like. watch those movies again, seriously, other than the pretty - boy leads, all the
background pirates
look like real pirates; filthy, diseased, toothless, furry, and ultra violent .
and as for point three, all i can say about the piracy issue in somalia is that anytime a couple of teenagers in a 12 - foot motorboat with a rusty ak - 47 can end up banking a $ 3millon dollar ransom for a week' s worth of negotiations with some foreign containership company, then i am definitely in the wrong line of work .
oh, and i' d like to think that all girl pirates look like this ...
anyway, we' re off the coast of southern california now, as a neat hand - drawn animated map shows us. cali was not a state until 1846, remember, it was still mexican territory, and there were just a few pirates operating in these waters (mostly because there was little to steal). as to why they set this movie in southern california, with all its palm trees and sandy beaches and pretty girls, i think that' s fairly obvious .
they go to get the mayor, a doddering old white guy with a stuttering, fancy fake english accent who comes across as the very model of modern major general. he' s by far the most interesting character in this film, if for no other reason than he' s the only one who seems to be enjoying himself .
with the mayor is serafina, his hot young daughter and our film' s romantic lead. she' s played by some black - haired, fine - featured slavic european chick who only slightly looks hispanic. surely there were any number of latina singer / actresses working in hollywood in 1936, couldn' t they at least try and cast some authentic color? was gloria estefan not available ?
if i had a nickel for every time i climbed through a window at night to meet a random girl and she threatened to stab herself if i didn' t leave ...
so jonathan teaches serafina to waltz in the european style, which, he says, requires that you
approach it with a degree of abandon .
that' s going to be my new life motto, btw. he crosses the line, however, when he tries to slip his arm around serafina' s waist during the dance, which prompts her to slap him and the townsfolk to haul him away in chains again. so, innocently touching a girl in a non - sexual way will get you hung in california in 1820? man, how things have changed, apparently there weren' t a lot of swedish massage parlors in socal back then ...
he sings her a song and they sway in a beautiful waltz and then suddenly the entire town bursts into a choreographed dance routine behind them! everyone has matching outfits and everything, it' s like they were all waiting and practicing every day for this one special moment. the actual dance is a unique blend of a frilly - skirted canasta tango and an up - tempo six - beat swingy waltz and it' s actually pretty cool. since i' m unashamed to admit i enjoy a good feel - good channing tatum / zac efron dance flick every now and then, i can appreciate the beauty and grace of fifty people all moving in rhythm to the music, which has to be 100 times more difficult to choreograph than i can imagine .
by the way, in amongst the large group of dancer chicks is a young, totally unknown rita hayworth. i only mention this because once she became famous and popular later, all the reissues of this movie feature her prominently on the cover, she even gets top billing over any other named cast member on a lot of them. yes, the same way jennifer anniston still shows up on reissued dvd covers of
, which she made years before she became famous. the difference is that, while anniston had a large, visible role in
just then a squad of mexican army soldiers arrive from monterey, led by a captain who is a major loserjerkface. since they are in the neighborhood, they take jonathan into custody over the complaints of the citizens. serafina, seeking to save him, starts hitting on the captain, using her considerable feminine charms to get him to stay a while. and because we men are powerless to resist a hot girl in a low - cut dress, it works .
two weeks pass and the soldiers are busy not paying for food at the cantina and not paying for quartering from the citizenry (they need a constitution !). the captain, when he' s not pawing serafina, seems to spend most of his time getting soapy baths from his male attendant (really). the mayor also seems to spend a lot of time getting naked back rubs from a teenage mexican boy (swear to god) while complaining about the lack of civility in the world these days. not sure what any of these time - filler insert scenes have to do with the movie, but i' m really wishing the pirates would return and rape the livestock and burn the barns and stuff .
down a little further, my boy, oh yes ...
while jonathan has been forced to do hard labor at the grist mill on starvation rations, serafina seems to have been working just as hard to
distract and confuse
the captain by giving him two solid weeks of sexyfuntime. eventually, she manages to arrange jonathan' s escape from the mill and they make to sneak off and be together (he' s going to have to just agree to forget the last two weeks of her slobbering on the captain). meanwhile, serafina' s clueless father the mayor has given his blessing for the captain to marry her (helped by numerous bottles of rum) in exchange for 60 head of cattle (nice). personally, i think she' s worth at least 120 head, plus some goats.
