John Morgan
Supporting Actor
I first saw The Sea Hawk televised in the late 50s. I was about 12 years old and I just loved it. Of course, at that time, facts on films were hard to come by, such as edited (shortened) releases of certain films for reissues. Years later when video came in and I bought The Sea Hawk, I was surprised at how many scenes from my youth were missing...especially the night scene where Doña Maria is racing to the pier in the carriage to catch Geoffrey Thorpe before his ship leaves - only to arrive too late. It wasn’t until years later that I found out the 16 mm prints were the full 127 minute film and hadn’t been edited to correspond with the theatrical 35mm rerelease.
