 Nick Cravat Biography :: Hollywood.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Lancaster largely left the tumbling world when he injured his hand and later went into war service; Cravat, meanwhile, continued solo and also appeared in bit parts in several films.
Cravat obliged his longtime friend splendidly as his comic sidekick in two enjoyably tongue-in-cheek swashbucklers, "The Flame and the Arrow" (1950) and "The Crimson Pirate" (1952).
Although Cravat played roles in non-Lancaster films ranging from "The Veils of Bagdad" (1953) to "The Way West" (1967), most of his credits--"Run Silent, Run Deep" (1958), "The Scalphunters" (1968) and his last, "The Island of Dr. Moreau" (1977)--prominently featured Cravat's roistering buddy of long standing.

 THE FLAME AND THE ARROW at HOLLYWOOD TEEN MOVIES
Lancaster and his sidekick Nick Cravat were both circus acrobats before they became actors and in this film they dazzle audiences with their leaps and vaults.
In "The Flame And The Arrow", Lancaster and Cravat play Dardo and Piccolo, two swashbuckling freedom fighters that must do battle with the villainous overlord Count Ulrich ('The Hawk') as a result of Lancaster's son being taken.
With his former circus partner Nick Cravat (who, as in The Crimson Pirate, does a delightful comic turn as Lancaster's mute side-kick), he puts on a rollicking display of acrobatic roughhousing, complete with flips, human pyramids and trapeze work, that leaves his earthbound enemies looking like 90-pound weaklings.

 DVD Review - The Crimson Pirate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
His real-life boyhood pal and circus partner Nick Cravat plays the mute sidekick Ojo and the two former acrobats really go all out performing their own complicated stunts.
While the story itself is pretty silly, the infectious enthusiasm of the cast and the very real feats of physical prowess on display make ’The Crimson Pirate’ a rollicking adventure film that’s sure to please fans of the genre.
Of course there isn’t much dynamic range, no surround use, and no LFE but the mix on the DVD is true to the original source materials so audio purists should be pleased.

Although ultimately all the swashbuckling with Lancaster and Nick Cravat bouncing around one another actually looks more like a circus act (both Lancaster and Cravat used to work as an acrobatic team in a circus).
And ultimately it is too nice a film - the pirates are too much good guys to ever be flguards, in fact they never even wield swords and rather absurdly dispatch people by punching them overboard or knocking them down with throwing pins.

Made with the assistance of the U.S. Navy who lent out a World War II-era submarine for some sequences, the battle scenes are realistic enough to still be exciting (even though the models used in some of the scenes aren't very convincing); that's high praise for a movie a half-century old.
