The Buccaneer (1938 film)
The Buccaneer is a 1938 American adventure film made by Paramount Pictures and based on Jean Lafitte and the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812.
It was produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille from a screenplay by Harold Lamb, Edwin Justus Mayer and C. Gardner Sullivan adapted by Jeanie Macpherson from the novel" Lafitte the Pirate" by Lyle Saxon.
The music score was by George Antheil and the cinematography by Victor Milner.
The film stars Fredric March as Lafitte, Franciska Gaal and Akim Tamiroff with Margot Grahame, Walter Brennan, Ian Keith, Spring Byington, Douglass Dumbrille, Beulah Bondi and Anthony Quinn in supporting roles.
It is one of the few pre -1950 sound films by Paramount to remain under that studio's ownership( partly so the remake could be filmed), whereas most films from that era had been sold to EMKA, Ltd. – now part of NBCUniversal Television Distribution – in the early television era.
Cecil B. DeMille remade the film in 1958 in Technicolor and VistaVision with the same title, but because of ill health, he allowed Henry Wilcoxon, his longtime friend and associate, to produce it, and the film was directed by Anthony Quinn, who was his son -in- law at the time.
De Mille received no screen credit, but did make a personal appearance in the prologue to the film, much as he did in" The Ten Commandments".
The 1958 version of" The Buccaneer" stars Yul Brynner, Charles Boyer and Claire Bloom, with Charlton Heston as Andrew Jackson.
Douglass Dumbrille appeared in both versions and Quinn acted in the earlier version.

Cecil Blount DeMille( August 12, 1881 – January 21, 1959) was an American filmmaker.
Between 1914 and 1958, he made a total of 70 features, both silent and sound films.
He is acknowledged as a founding father of the American cinema and the most commercially successful producer- director in film history.
His films were distinguished by their epic scale and by his cinematic showmanship.
His silent films were more diverse in genre, among which included social dramas, comedies, Westerns, farces, morality plays, and historical pageants.
De Mille began his career as a stage actor in 1900.
He later moved to writing and directing stage productions, some with Jesse Lasky, who was then a vaudeville producer.
DeMille's first film," The Squaw Man"( 1914), was also the first feature film shot in Hollywood.
Its interracial love story made it commercially successful and it first publicized Hollywood as the home of the U.S. film industry.
The continued success of his productions led to the founding of Paramount Pictures with Lasky and Adolph Zukor.
His first biblical epic," The Ten Commandments"( 1923), was both a critical and commercial success; it held the Paramount revenue record for twenty- five years.
De Mille directed" The King of Kings"( 1927), a biography of Jesus, which gained approval for its sensitivity and reached more than 800 million viewers.
" The Sign of the Cross"( 1932) is said to be the first sound film to integrate all aspects of cinematic technique.
" Cleopatra"( 1934) was his first film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
After more than thirty years in film production, DeMille reached a pinnacle in his career with" Samson and Delilah"( 1949), a biblical epic which became the highest- grossing film of 1950.
Along with biblical and historical narratives, he also directed films oriented toward" neo-naturalism", which tried to portray the laws of man fighting the forces of nature.
He received his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director for his circus drama" The Greatest Show on Earth"( 1952), which won both the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama.
His last and best known film," The Ten Commandments"( 1956), also a Best Picture Academy Award nominee, is currently the eighth- highest- grossing film of all time, adjusted for inflation.
In addition to his Best Picture Awards, he received an Academy Honorary Award for his film contributions, the Palme d' Or( posthumously) for" Union Pacific"( 1939), a DGA Award for Lifetime Achievement, and the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award.
