Captain Kidd 1945

Directed by Rowland V. Lee | Starring: Randolph Scott, Charles Laughton, John Carradine, Gilbert Roland
This unhistorical account of pirate Captain Kidd revolves around treasure and treachery. In 1699, William Kidd, presenting himself as an honest shipmaster, dupes King William III into backing his mission to fight pirates, with a crew of condemned pirates and the promise of pardon.
