The Pirate Ratings & Reviews
Michael J. Cinema
Michael J. Casey
Pure pleasure.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Its metatheatrical musical stylings border on the avant-garde under Minelli's nimble direction, and while the film certainly has some cringe-worthy sexual politics in hindsight, it's also a much better film than its reputation suggests.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
It's certainly cumbersome in spots, but some zesty musical numbers and spirited performances help carry it over the finish line.
LarsenOnFilm
Josh Larsen
Judy Garland at her sexiest and most comedic, all at once.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Like a warm-up to An American in Paris (1951).
Movie Metropolis
John J. Puccio
...it does a lot better with its singing, dancing, and staging than it does with its acting, characterizations, and storytelling.
Slant Magazine
Dan Callahan
The Pirate takes place in some Caribbean of the mind, with lots of shadows and lace and high mantillas, and it's all about the promise of sex; the film keeps tapping into a nervous, adolescent sort of fear and desire.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Consciosuly campy, this musical was misunderstood at the time. While Cole Porter's songs lack his trademark wit, the sumpruous sets and exotic costumes compensate for the slender fable,the highlight of which is Judy's rendition of "Be a Clown."
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Visually creative musical.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Brilliantly conceived box office failure with Judy and Gene.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Stylish, but overbearing musical.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
All told it's an enjoyable work, albeit one of the director's minor films.
