The lead actress, Jean Peters, was reportedly obsessed with the role, famously stating she "would have died" if she hadn't been cast. She embraced the character's rugged nature, describing her as a "complete primitive" who knew only the "law of might".
2. Revenge of the Pirates (Original title: La vendetta del corsaro )
There are actually two notable films from 1951 often associated with the title (Queen of the Pirates). Depending on which one you mean, there are two very different and fascinating stories.

This Hollywood production, directed by Jacques Tourneur, stars Jean Peters as a ruthless pirate captain.
