Plot

[edit]

Some actors put on a play about a pirate, and find themselves encountering similarities from the play in their own lives.

Production

[edit]

Charles Boyer returned from Hollywood to appear in the movie which was filmed at Victorine Studios in Nice, August – September 1939. However production ceased on the declaration of war and Boyer returned to America.[1] The film was never completed, although some footage of it was later released.[2]

A documentary about the making of the movie was released in 1995.[3]
