Cinematographer George Barnes received an Academy Award nomination for Best Color Cinematography. Though a box office hit upon its first release, the film is chiefly remembered today for its lavish and intricate score by Hanns Eisler. ==Plot== Dutch sea captain Laurent van Horn (Henreid) is shipwrecked off the coast of the Spanish settlement of Cartagena. After being held and sentenced to death, van Horn and his crew manage to escape. Five years later, van Horn has established himself as the mysterious pirate known only by the name of his ship: The Barracuda. After infiltrating the vessel ferrying her to her wedding, they capture Francisca Alvarado (O'Hara) who has been arranged to marry the corrupt governor (Slezak). Wishing to avoid further bloodshed aboard the escort ship, Francisca offers to marry van Horn if he will spare the escort, to which he agrees. Over time Francisca and van Horn become attracted to each other and set out to defeat the villainous governor Don Juan Alvarado and treacherous pirates Du Billar and Capt. Black. The film includes the character Anne Bonny (Barnes), in a fictionalized account of the real-life well-known female pirate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Spanish Main」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
