The film was one of several British literary classics turned into films in the Soviet Union during the era. A number of changes were made to introduce anti-capitalist elements and to promote soviet ideology.

Pirate song from the movie:
Across the seas and oceans
An evil star leads us.
We wander in different countries
And we don't make nests anywhere.
Our captain Became
Black as night, enmity.
Why should we be discouraged?
We have nothing to lose!
Drink until you drunk
There will be a wave
Full of blood!
Chorus:
Friends, unfold the sails!
Yo-ho-ho, have fun like hell!
Some were killed by bullets, others were killed by old age.
Yo-ho-ho, still on board!
Shore, take the wreckage
The dead will be buried by the enemy.
Darkness will hide from people
The exploits of sea tramps.
The descendants will curse more than once
Our black pirate flag.
The darkness gave birth to us
We roam like a plague
The hour is near
Listen to the order,
The devil is for us!
