This is one of only two films Kirk Douglas ever directed. The other, Posse (3.5*), is by far the better. Scalawag is a pirate film in a Western setting, complete with a treasure hunt (and a parrot). It's more of a family-friendly TV movie, with corny songs and rather ugly settings shot in Yugoslavia; Danny De Vito has a bit part as a member of Douglas's pirate gang. Douglas himself wasn't particularly proud of this film. It wasn't very good, so I won't be promoting it too much. The image quality is rather poor, by the way (I suspect it was a VHS-to-DVD transfer). Seen it on YouTube.
