About The Secret of the Black Falcon
A secret document has fallen into the hands of pirates. Spain and England are both interested. The English commissioned a notorious pirate and the Spaniards procure their best officer, Carlos de Herrera, to retrieve the document for them.
Directed by Domenico Paolella, The Secret of the Black Falcon leans on a strong ensemble — Lex Barker, Livio Lorenzon, Nadia Marlowa — 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 adventure titles of 1961.
