Make ready the topsails! Australian-born leading man Rod Taylor portrays English seafaring captain Sir Francis Drake in this sword-clanging swashbuckling adventure told in bold colorful strokes that includes Drake's circumnavigation of the globe a mutiny at sea raids that brought England a wealth of Spanish gold Spain's foiled scheme to supplant Queen Elizabeth (and replace her with Mary of Scotland) and Drake's daring battle-at-sea gambit that left the mighty Spanish Armada in ruins. Three-time Tony Award-winning Broadway legend Irene Worth essays the role of politically crafty Elizabeth who convinces Spanish ambassadors that she loathes Drake's privateering while secretly financing him.
