A long circuitous route brought us to noticing Mr. Flippen's distinctive face in a pirate movie, Buccaneer's Girl, which also stars Yvonne De Carlo. John Qualen, who appeared with Duke in 9 films, is also in this film.

When I say circuitous, I mean that we got started on the pirate movies after the Mrs. started reading Maureen O'Hara's bio, and learning she had appeared in quite a few pirate flicks. A couple of the DVDs we bought had multiple titles on them, and this was one of them. As I looked at First Mate Hawkins, he seemed SO familiar, and indeed he was.

Yvonne De Carlo was delightful to watch. She sings very well, and played her part in this film with a flair.

Not one of the better known stars, but here are a couple of sites -

Here's a case where the picture really made a difference, Keith! Thanks!

My best memories of JC are from Hellfighters and The Flying Leathernecks, but I never really knew who he was . . . . . . now I do.

I think you adding the picture to the bio is a very good thing. Not even IMDb has pictures for all their bios! This is a real classy joint we've got here .
