Another realization of the adventure genre Ischia is the film "Morgan the Pirate" of '60, of the director Primo Zeglio, that in the context of popular cinema, is a spectacular exhibit of large plant and sufficient to cover the favorite genres of the '50s and 60s. The row repeats the images of the figure of Henry Morgan, whose exploits have already been documented in other films where this does not go away. The preferred locations in this film are the area of Punta Molino, Ischia Ponte, Lacco Ameno and the Maronti beach, perfect setting for a fight between pirates. In spite of the beautiful scenery, the film was considered a ridiculous adventure film, supervised by a Andre de Toth, who plays of accumulation: people, facts, actions, to mask the void on which it stands. Just on the basis of these considerations, it seems appropriate to recall how much they had in the movies, places, and environments of Ischia. We can assert without doubt that the main protagonist of the film is the island in its entirety.

This is not the first time this has happened since Ischia have been many movies but these are the pirate Morgan led all the features of the new cinema environment. An environment that wants to be intellectual and instead is flat and dull. And all these nice people what you can achieve? Only the useless meatballs that are certainly not honor the Italian cinema. The belly of Chelo Alonso, the muscles of Steve Reeves and his stunt, the sine of Valery Lagrange and some galleon fire form the main emotion of the film. We must hope that the natural beauty of our island saved part of the film. The trouble is that in the movie Ischia is an island in the South Seas.Plein Soleil
