John Paul Jones

Now released from duties to seek naval prizes for his victorious ship's crew, Captain Jones (Robert Stack) meets Empress Catherine of Russia (Bette Davis), who tests his virtue with dancing girls, in John Farrow's John Paul Jones, 1959.

Denied a command in the Continental Navy, but seconded to the shrewd Commodore Hopkins (Thomas Gomez), Robert Stack (title character) offers a brainy plan and bold attack in the Bahamas, a fictional event in a roughly accurate context, in producer Samuel Bronston's John Paul Jones, 1959.

New on the pre-Revolutionary Virginia social scene, youthful captain Jones (Robert Stack), escorted by eminent Patrick Henry (Macdonald Carey), tangles with a bellicose Brit (Peter Cushing) and meets Dorothea (Erin O'Brien), early in John Paul Jones, 1959.
