El Corsario Negro ("The Black Corsair") is a 1944 Mexican film of the Golden Age of Mexican cinema. It was directed by Chano Urueta and stars Pedro Armendariz,[1] José Baviera, June Marlowe[a],[2] and Maria Luisa Zea. The film is based on the 1898 adventure novel The Black Corsair by Emilio Salgari.[3] It is the story of a seventeenth-century pirate (Pedro Armendariz) who declares a ceaseless war against the injustice of a cruel governor (José Baviera) of Maracaibo. In the course of his struggle, he finds the love of a beautiful maiden (June Marlowe), and loses his childhood friend (Maria Luisa Zea).
The film was a major production that gained popularity with audiences in Mexico and Latin America, but received negative reviews from critics.[4][5]
