Frank Lloyd – The Sea Hawk (1924)
A stirring tale of romance and deception staged on an epic scale by director Frank Lloyd, The Sea Hawk (1924) captures the majesty and vigor of silent cinema at its most spectacular. Based on the novel by Rafael Sabatini, the author of Scaramouche and Captain Blood, the film is a swashbuckling epic of the highest order, spanning several years and continents as it tells the story of Oliver Tressilian, a British nobleman falsely accused of murder, and dramatizes his valiant efforts to restore honor to his name.
Although knighted by the queen for his bravery on the seas, Sir Oliver Tressilian bears the reputation of a bloodthirsty pirate. When he offers to defend his reputation with a sword, it only seems to confirm the rumor to his betrothed, Lady Rosamund Godolphin (Enid Bennett). When her brother Peter (Wallace MacDonald) is killed in a duel, Oliver is given the blame, even though it was his brother Lionel (Lloyd Hughes) who slayed the “hot-headed young blade.” Rather than confess to the deed, Lionel allows Oliver to shoulder the blame and even pays the unscrupulous Captain Leigh (Wallace Beery) to shanghai the innocent Oliver, and ferry him to sea on board The Swallow. Just when Oliver discovers his brother’s treachery, the ship is attacked by a Spanish galleon and he is taken into slavery, chained to the oars of the marauding ship.
