"Correct title"? Heads up: movies are commonly released under different titles for different markets. Nothing incorrect about it. "Nate & Hayes"? "Savage Islands" in the UK. "Scallawag"? "Pegleg, Musket & Saber". (That's right – they changed the US title, but kept the US spelling.) And "Jean Lafitte"? "Buccaneer". |

How in any universe could anyone vote against the coolest pirate ever, Johnny Depp using Keith Richards as his inspiration? |

To Norman D Landings: It may be a minor point, but none of the following website articles about the 1958 version of "The Buccaneer" make any mention of it ever being released under any other title: Wikipedia, IMDB, Turner Classic Movies. Furthermore, a Google search for "Jean Lafitte" coupled with any of the terms "movie," "film," or "cinema" failed to turn up any movie reference with the actual title "Jean Lafitte." |

I would suggest everyone was fully aware of what was being spoken of, including you Attila as you obviously "made the connection to apply the correction" --- (should have been a rapper) so really whats the difference?

Amen, Russ, I didn't remember the title specific and didn't want to interrupt my typing to do the Google search. But thanks to Attila for getting the correct title for those unaware. It is a fun movie. |

If I'm any indication, the Battle of New Orleans sequence in The Buccaneer must have sold many a box of Airfix Waterloo Highlanders to junior proto-wargamers. |

40 years on and I'm still planning to re-create that scene in 15mm. |
