Directed by Cecil B. DeMille

Pirate Jean Lafitte is tempted by the British to help them take the city of New Orleans during the War of 1812. His loyalty to the American side wins him the favor of Andrew Jackson. Together, they defeat the British and save the city. Typical overblown DeMille saga, with Franciska Gaal as a young Dutch girl threatening to bring the whole thing down with her juvenile romantic antics. It is still just entertaining enough to be worthwhile, just try not to think too much or compare it to actual historical events.
