Le Corsaire ("The Pirate") is an unfinished 1939 French film. It would have marked the screen debut of Louis Jourdan.
Some actors put on a play about a pirate, and find themselves encountering similarities from the play in their own lives.
The screenplay was based on a play by Marcel Achard. Charles Boyer returned from Hollywood to appear in the movie which was filmed at Victorine Studios in Nice, August – September 1939. However production ceased on the declaration of war and Boyer returned to America. [1] The film was never completed, although some footage of it was later released. [2]
