"ANY MAN WOULD BE A FOOL WHO DIDN'T"



Anne Of The Indies - real. Jacques Tourneur, 1951

"The story was intended to be based on the true life of pirate Anne Bonny. Queen Anne Of The Indies (among other proposed titles) was a short story published in the Saturday Evening Post c.1946, by Charleston's historical fiction author, Herbert Sass. Sass was asked by NY publishers & LA studios to write a movie treatment of the story. In 1948 he offered up a fictionalized version of the true story of Anne Bonny, including a 10-page "factual basis" for the story. Studios seemed responsive, but in the end Sass was left out of the loop until the movie came out in 1951. What ended up on the screen was very different from the original story. Without writer credit to Sass, it would be difficult to convince anyone it was the same story! Susan Hayward was originally slated for the lead role, but eventually was replaced by Jean Peters".

Anne: Wenches are mad! How can they move, clewed up like this?
Pierre: They don't. They wait for the man to make the moves. That's much better.
Anne: Men like this?
Pierre: Any man would be a fool who didn't.


Anne: Why?
Pierre: It's the nature of men.
Anne: You mean... a man sees a woman like this, and he wants to make love to her?
Pierre: Yes.
