Gene Kelly in The Pirate

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Also starring Judy Garland
With its 19th century Caribbean island setting, magnificent costumes and Cole Porter songs 'Be a clown' and 'Love of my life', The Pirate has long been acclaimed as one of the great Hollywood musicals. Judy Garland gives one of her greatest performances as the lovelorn Manuela and Gene Kelly confirmed his star status in the role of the dashing 'pirate' Serafin.
