The Princess and the Pirate 1944
As pointed out by reader Mathias' comments on Buccaneer's Girl (1950), The Princess and the Pirate along with The Black Swan (1942) were a source for a number of technicolor stock shots for pirate movies of the early 1950s' including Anne of the Indies(1951) and Double Crossbones (1951).
