Lisa Gastoni and Germano Longo in QUEEN OF THE SEAS (1962)
The original Italian title is LE AVVEMTURE DI MARY READ or THE ADVENTURES OF MARY READ. Personally, I prefer that title over the generic QUEEN OF THE SEAS. It also makes sound like QUEEN OF THE PIRATES (1960), the one starring Gianna Maria Canale. There's a surprising high number of pirates movies with women in the lead in Italian moviemaking. There's YOLANDA - DAUGHTER OF THE BLACK PIRATE (1953) and so on. Lisa Gastoni is always excellent in her roles and this one is no exception. One of the best actresses of the genre. Germano Longo is a familiar face. But he's not the romantic lead. Lisa's co-star in THARUS - SON OF ATTILA (1962), Jerome Courtland, is. Explosive ending.
