The Devil-Ship Pirates is a 1964 pirate adventure film made in the UK by Hammer Films. It concerned pirates from a vessel from the defeated Spanish Armada terrorizing citizens on the English coast. All goes well until the villagers realize the Spaniards have been defeated and revolt. It had some spectacular swordplay but was a largely land-locked pirate movie.
It starred Christopher Lee, Barry Warren, John Cairney, Andrew Keir, Duncan Lamont, Michael Ripper and Suzan Farmer, and was directed by Don Sharp.
The outdoor sets are instantly recognizable from Hammer's The Scarlet Blade, made the previous year.
[edit] Trivia
- Don Sharp also directed Barry Warren in The Kiss of the Vampire.
