 The Sea Hawk (1924)
The silent version of The Sea Hawk is a faithful adaption of the Rafael Sabatini novel, which means it bears no resemblance to the 1940 Errol Flynn film of the same name.
Both the novel and the silent version of The Sea Hawk are products of an early 20th century infatuation with "The Orient" a louche country of the imagination where the constrictions of Western civilization could be discarded in an atmosphere of luxury and sexual license.
Perhaps the Flynn The Sea Hawk, which could almost be a prequel to this tale, was revamped because the vogue for Orientalism seemed passe (although the 40s would bring a new cycle of "Arabian Nights" movies).

 The Sea Hawk (1940)
Clearly, a bunch of Sea Hawks is much more manly than the Sea Dogs, which sound more like a bunch of horny swimmers than charming rogues who delight in putting those Spaniards and their silly helmets in their place.
Flynn, you'll note that he manages to be the toughest SOB on the high seas even with that little teeny mustache and studiously wavy hair that acts as well as he does, showing its mettle in scenes where he's involved in derring-do as well as in scenes where he's a sweaty and dirty galley slave.
I was really surprised because I always like Brenda Marshall in that one movie where she was that one chick who did that thing with that deal and it slowly dawned on me that I had no idea who Brenda Marshall was (still don't) except that she's pointlessly snotty and Thorpe is pointlessly smitten.

 Sea Hawk, The (1940) - Review - Piddleville
Both also manage to be rousing costume adventures without any sense of self-consciousness though The Sea Hawk differs slightly in that Errol Flynn plays the British pirate Captain Geoffrey Thorpe with a kind of very contained impishness.
But in these Flynn movies this kind of feeling is not one of mocking the audience but of having fun with them.

 Combustible Celluloid film review - The Sea Hawk (1940), Michael Curtiz, Errol Flynn, Brenda Marshall, dvd review
That most people could not name another Flynn movie could partly be due to the fact that Flynn died young, but still lived long enough to see his career flicker out.
The Sea Hawk is perhaps best known for its awesome, thundering score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, but it's also Flynn's most sophisticated and startling film.
We learn that Flynn was easily bored and was prepared to walk away from the movie biz in search of new adventures; his lust for life got him into trouble quite often.

 Slant Magazine - Film Review: The Sea Hawk
He was never more believable than swinging to the rescue of whatever girl he fancied that month (Olivia DeHavilland was the most well known), or rallying his merry men and hearties into a form of stage combat that felt closer to ballet.
All the plot elements remain pretty much the same: an opening sea battle with cannons and swordplay, a light romance, an imprisonment in the galleys and subsequent escape by moonlight, and a final round of love-talk with the girl before swordplay and victory.
When The Sea Hawk is purely cinematic, it's at the top of its class.

Errol Flynn handily commands the screen and the high seas as Elizabethan privateer Captain Geoffrey Thorpe, of the loyal Sea Hawks, leading a secret mission into the Caribbean for queen and country.
The Sea Hawk's spy-thriller story (scripted by Howard Koch and Seton I. Miller) involves a wartime conspiracy leading to the heart of Her Majesty's government, a familiar enough plot during World War II.

Rafael Sbatini’s most famous tale of piracy at sea is, of course, Captain Blood, with The Sea Hawk coming in a distant second.
Though it got enough attention in the ‘20s to result in a Hollywood movie based on the novel, it isn’t so well remembered today.
The rest of the tale follows Sakr-el-Bahr, the Sea Hawk and the deadliest corsair captain as ever shipped out from the Barbary Coast.

Sharing only the title with Warners enjoyable silent film and reusing the sets and costumes from The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex, it's a great example of the genius of the studio system in the days before packaging became a dirty word.
Example during the first big battle scene Flynn's pirates are running around laughing and yelling like they're playing in the ball pit at Chuck E. Cheese instead in life or death combat.
Joining the ambassador is his daughter Olivia [played by Brenda Marshall] who eventually [or should I say inevitably?] falls in love with Thorpe after several romantic scenes in a rose garden as well on Thorpe's ship...
