Episode 5: The Sea Hawk
/
“Captain Thorpe, do you imagine that we are at war with Spain!?’ ‘Your grace, Spain is at war with the world!"
-The Sea Hawk (1940)
We continue our streak of Errol Flynn pirate movies in today's Pirate Parley episode, The Sea Hawk! In this oar-snapping good time, listen to us chat away about the World War II pro-British politics that not-so-subtly snuck in, the return of pet monkeys (finally), the good old philosophy of a Captain going down with his ship (for a dignified 2 seconds of course), and light/traumatic romps in Panama swamps. Hope you enjoy!
