Here is vivid drama that lifts you out of the ordinary to something you've never seen on the screen before. Galley ships, galley slaves, fighting corsairs, dainty damsels, harem slaves all in one master film."; "Gallant were the galleys of the Spanish Main of old, from their sterns of hammered silver to their figureheads of gold... and gallant were the oarsmen who sped them through the brine, with the swirl of foam behind them and the luring shark behind. Of love or joy or sorrow they drank the bitter lees, the servants of the oarlocks but the masters of the sea. You'll see them all in this wonder film."; based on the novel "by Rafael Sabatini") starring Milton Sills ("and an all star cast including"), Enid Bennett, Lloyd Hughes, Wallace Beery, Wallace MacDonald, Marc MacDermott and "thousands of people". Note that Warner Bros. re-used some of the footage from this movie in 1935's "Captain Blood", starring Errol Flynn (which was based on a different Sabatini novel). In 1940, Warner Bros. made a new version of "The Sea Hawk", again starring Errol Flynn, but for that movie, they threw out the original Sabatini novel altogether!

This book has the original dust jacket. Here are more details about these books: Grosset & Dunlap was a publisher that made a deal with all the studios in the 1910s to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies (there were also some by other publishers, but Grosset & Dunlap printed the lion's share of these). They would republish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put a dust jacket on the book that showed the stars of the movie, and they would usually include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s, and they are quite collectible, especially if they still have the original dust jacket! Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Because we know that the dust jacket is an important part of the value of this book, we also pictured the entire dust jacket opened up. Between that image and our other images, you should be able to get a good sense of the overall condition of this book. Condition: good. The back cover of the dust jacket and the bottom 2" of the spine are missing. Learn More about condition grades
