About Clothes Make the Pirate
A disgruntled 18th century Bostonian who while wishing that he was a pirate, dons the clothes and play-acts the part. He is mistaken for the real pirate, Dixie Bull. More importantly, Errol "slays" the villain and puts his foot upon the pirate's head. This is more than enough and he heads back home to his unappreciated wife
Directed by Maurice Tourneur, Clothes Make the Pirate leans on a strong ensemble — Leon Errol, Dorothy Gish, Nita Naldi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1926.
