"Captain Kidd" is an excellent film about human greed and treachery. It has a somewhat cynical tone, dark humor and plenty of duplicity and murder. Great casting lead by Charles Laughton as William Kidd, supported by John Carradine as Orange Povey, Randolph Scott as Adam Mercy & Barbara Britton as Lady Anne Dunstan.

"Captain Kidd" is what you would expect from a film of this nature gold, swashbuckling fight scenes, sunken ships, back-stabbing, treachery, stormy seas, stealing , NOBODY does villiany as deliciously well as Charles Loughton! Fun adventure film. 8/10
