Prince of Pirates is a 1953 American Technicolor adventure film directed by Sidney Salkow. [1]
In a 16th century kingdom in the Netherlands, the newly crowned King Stephan concludes a secret treaty with the Spanish. This puts him at odds with his younger brother, Prince Roland, who favors a treaty with the French. Stephan orders Roland imprisoned but Roland escapes and leads a revolt.
FilmInk called it " a hugely enjoyable, lively film with plenty of colour and an enthusiastic cast. It’s one of Derek’s best movies." [2]
