Eine imaginäre Karibik-Insel. Manuela schwärmt in ihren Träumen für den legendären Piraten Macoco. Tante Inez kann solche Flausen im Kopf nicht billigen. Sie hat bereits den beleibten Bürgermeister Don Pedro als Bräutigam für ihre Nichte ausgewählt. Da begegnet Manuela dem heißblütigen Wanderschauspieler Serafin. Er verliebt sich auf der Stelle in Manuela und versucht es mit einem Trick: Er gibt sich keck als der tollkühne Seeräuber Macoco aus und hat nach einigen Rückschlägen Manuelas Herz erobert.

This has been floating around on Twitter recently so naturally I had to see what was up. 😄
I love Gene Kelly and Judy Garland and how could a movie with both of them in it not be great? Well, it wasn't. It was an okay movie but didn't live up to the greatness that I've come to expect from them. Both of their characters, in fact, the plot itself, was all a bit cheesy. I will say that the movie had me laughing out loud a couple times but I honestly couldn't tell if the overacting was actually meant to be funny or not. The one thing that I will say is that this is the first time where a white male appeared in a film dancing with African-Americans. In fact, that scene was banned in certain states because of how controversial it was. That says a lot about Gene Kelly as a person and that particular dance scene was so athletic and so well done.
