While its place in musical history is up for debate, ''The Pirate'' boasts some phenomenal songs by the legendary Music/ColePorter. The most notable among them is "Be a Clown", which was later plagiarized for another Gene Kelly musical, ''Film/SingingInTheRain'', in the song "Make 'Em Laugh". This film is also the second of three musical collaborations between Kelly and Garland, the others being ''Film/ForMeAndMyGal'' and ''Summer Stock''.
