Production
It was the second film made by Korda for Austria's Sascha-Film company. It is based on the novel The Pirates by Ernest Vajda who also wrote the screenplay. Several other Hungarian exiles also worked on the film, including the producer Arnold Pressburger. The film's storyline offered a romantic view of modern-day pirates and their pursuit of treasure.[1] Korda's actress wife Maria Corda appeared in a leading role, credited as Maria Palma.
