Fairbanks’ Black Pirate Blu-ray Coming Up

[John Johnson]

On December 14, Kino Video will release The Black Pirate. This 1926 swashbuckling adventure movie, starring Douglas Fairbanks, was shot on two-strip Technicolor (rather than the more advanced and lush three-strip process that came later). It will be presented with two music tracks: the original 1926 orchestral score by Mortimer Wilson, conducted by Robert Israel; and a BD-exclusive organ score by Lee Erwin.

Special features include:
Audio commentary by film historian Rudy Behlmer
19 Minutes of outtakes with commentary by Rudy Behlmer
30 Minutes of previously unreleased outtakes (BD-exclusive)
Black & white "talkie" adaptation (BD-exclusive)
Photo gallery (BD-exclusive
