The film was made in 1961 or 1962 and it's the onliest DEFA-film with a model ship sea battle in there. I don't like that film because it's a very poor and cheap made flick with bad model ships, bad costumes and poor acting performances. I've bought the dvd a couple of years ago and i was highly pissed off.Mathiasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601090335485436846.post-10313297582839846172014-10-24T01:45:34.000+08:002014-10-24T01:45:34.000+08:00As a german I feel ashamed for that film because &...As a german I feel ashamed for that film because "Die schwarze Galeere" / "The Black Galley" is one of the worst swashbuckler-period flicks that I have ever seen. It is a first class example for bad miniature shots and loveless filmmaking. You really could call it an "ARTISTIC ACCIDENT". Nevertheless, the former GDR Production Company DEFA also released a lot of high quality made history- and period films as well as several very well made TV-Series with historical themes.Mathiasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4601090335485436846.post-63223076918404066422014-10-15T06:32:36.000+08:002014-10-15T06:32:36.000+08:00I may have found a lead to your mystery film; DEFA...I may have found a lead to your mystery film; DEFA produced a film called Die schwarze Galeere (The Black Galley) in 1962. A Google image search for the original German title returns a picture of one of the models (the galleon on the right of your photo). Evidently the model still exists in the collections of the Filmmuseum Potsdam. There is also an IMDB entry for Die schwarze Galeere, but no additional images.<br><br>Thanks for a great blog!<br><br>RonRonald P.noreply@blogger.com
