* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/GeorgeSanders the quintessential cad, almost unrecognisable as the bewhiskered, leering Captain Leech.

Loosely based on the Creator/RafaelSabatini book of the same name, ''The Black Swan'' is a 1942 swashbuckler film directed by Henry King, starring Tyrone Power and Creator/MaureenOHara.
It tells the story of Captain Jamie Waring (Power) a privateer who finds it difficult to cope when his old friend Henry Morgan (Laird Cregar) trades in a life of piracy for the Governorship of Jamaica. Waring considers joining his old mate Billy Leech (Creator/GeorgeSanders), captain of the titular ''Black Swan,'' until [[LoveRedeems his head is turned by the beautiful]] Margaret Denby (O'Hara).
Not to be confused with the 2010 Creator/NataliePortman film ''Film/BlackSwan''.

* DealWithTheDevil: Ingram gives Leech the locations of English merchant vessels in return for a percentage of the plunder.

* SlapSlapKiss: Jamie and Margaret's relationship to a T.
