Movie Review: Captain Kidd
Charles Laughton and Randolph Scott star in this classic adventure drama. A prate cons the authorities into making him protector of ships who pass through rogue infested waters. Of course he uses his position to figure out the best ships to capture.
Adam Mercy hires aboard Kidd's ship in order to find out what happened to his father. Kidd finds him out and attempts to kill him and the lady he tries to project.
The black and white and 1945 era effects keep us focussed on the plot and the acting. These people make us believe the story and lose ourselves in the action. I think even kids would enjoy this once they got past the age of the film.
Check out the DVD from Bandon and find VHS copies in Coquille and Powers.
