One scene that bothers me!


Is when,just after meeting that awful tyrone character,o'hara is flung aside from shoulder height unconscious onto the floor,which is obvious a hard stone one,she would of cracked her head open and bleed to death,or even worse!The director should of realised this.

Yes, remember that scene, not sure we were supposed to laugh or gasp. So unexpected, Power professes his love, then tosses her aside onto the hard floor without even looking to see if she was all right, guess love took second place to business back then...

I laughed my ass off. Great movie, and hilarious way of showing a pirate with a throwaway wench.

A 35mm print of The Black Swan was screened at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, September 16. The scene where Tyrone Power dumps Maureen O'Hara to the floor got the biggest audience laugh. Second biggest laugh was Thomas Mitchell suggested they drown all the politicians.

If LA is good for anything, it's 35 and 70mm print screenings Wish I'd been there to see it!

Tyrone Power said that, not Thomas Mitchell...

You can't go wrong drowning politicians Henry. The Black Swan (1942)
