Sea Hawk, The (1924)
Galleon slaves strain against the oarsâ¦warships blast cannonades of deathâ¦and one of the great seafaring swashbucklers of the Silent Era (presented with added music) sails anew on DVD. Milton Sills, a stalwart silent-movie actor sure to be better known today if not for his untimely death, plays the gentleman pirate â The Sea Hawk â who escapes the treachery of a dastardly sea dog (Wallace Beery) and becomes the scourge of Spainâs navy. Two-time Academy Award® winner* Frank Lloyd helms the excitement, hewing closer to the Sabatini novel than would the later Errol Flynn movie, using full-sized ships during filming and finding his sea legs years before guiding 1935âs Oscar®-winning Best Picture Mutiny on the Bounty.
