The story is sharp and affectionate, and the dialogue and pace more than credible. The Pirate is a wonderful film and musical and showcases the talents of Kelly and Garland to perfection. I love musicals, I love Gene Kelly and I love Judy Garland, so The Pirate looked like a perfect match. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 10 / 10 One of my favourite Judy Garland films Overall, despite being a nice looking film, "The Pirate" is among the worst MGM made in this era. This is supposed to be set on a Caribbean Island-yet they have the most ridiculous song and dance number where Kelly performs on a set that only could be on a sound stage. Finally, some of the production numbers are just insane. The worst was the opening song "Niña" which uses words like 'neuresthenia' and 'schizophrenia' (terms that weren't even known at the time the film was set). Too many of the songs are either dull or have lyrics that made my brain hurt.
But worst of all, despite Cole Porter being the writer, it's obviously NOT his best. Huh?!? Also the songs themselves often don't fit the story at all (such as "Be a Clown" at the end of the film-where they obviously gave up on the plot and was integrated well into "Singing in the Rain").
In "The Pirate", for example, Judy bursts into song when she thinks the man she loves is dead. Too often, folks break into song for no reason whatsoever. This is mostly because too often the songs and plot aren't integrated well. I must admit that although I have probably seen more musicals than most anyone you'd ever meet, I am not a huge fan of the genre. What's to come of all this? See the film.or not! My advice is NOT! So, he does what any guy would do-announces that HE is the dreaded pirate Macoco! The problem is someone in town really IS Macoco but has assumed a respected guise. He tries to court her and is rather unsuccessful until he hypnotizes her and discovers she is a bad girl at heart and wants a blood-thirsty pirate as a lover. She's accepted her fate, though a traveling actor (Kelly) sees this as a waste-as he wants her himself. Judy Garland plays a nice young lady who has been betrothed to the Mayor (Walter Slezak)-a seemingly boring old man.

Plus it didn't help that the film was originally meant as a comedy and songs were slapped into the script (sloppily).

Despite having Gene Kelly and Garland and the full MGM glossy treatment, the film didn't connect with folks and it lost money.a lot according to IMDb. So, they re-tooled various parts of the film and released it-to less than stellar reactions from the public. Not only was Judy Garland at her lowest due to her health and her addiction, but the film was considered a mess by the studio when they previewed it. Reviewed by MartinHafer 3 / 10 I can see why this one lost money. Only a miracle can save his neck but Serafin and Manuela manage to arrange one. Serafin, aka Macoco the pirate, is sentenced to death by hanging. Despite his pleas that he only is a circus actor impersonating a pirate, he is found guilty of piracy, partly on fake evidence supplied by a fearful and jealous Don Pedro. Serafin, masquerading as Macoco, is arrested by the Spanish troops. Unfortunately, it also convinces the local authorities and the visiting Spanish Viceroy that he is a wanted pirate. His performance is so well-executed that it convinces everyone, including Manuela, that he truly is Macoco the pirate. He pretends to be the famous pirate Macoco and he plays the part well, assisted by the complicity of his troupe. This revelation persuades Serafin to resort to a trick to woo her. At the circus show, during a hypnosis act, Serafin learns that Manuela is secretly enamored of Macoco. Attracted to each another but, while Serafin wants to woo Manuela, she refuses his advances claiming to be promised in marriage to Don Pedro. She resigns herself to her fate but before the wedding, in nearby Port Sebastian, she meets by chance a troupe of traveling circus actors, led by the handsome Serafin. However, her guardians, her aunt and uncle, aiming to get rich, insist that she marry Don Pedro, the town mayor, an arrogant and bullying much older man. In the Spanish Main, local beauty Manuela Alva, is living on the island of Calvados and dreams of falling in love with the legendary Caribbean pirate known as "Macoco", sometimes called "the black Macoco" due to his fearsome buccaneering and looting.
