This is just fun. Errol is creaky but that's part of the appeal in a way - he's this aging rogue going undercover, who isn't as good looking as he once was but at least knows how to flirt so the girls go for him... Maureen O'Hara, sexually aggressive and surrounded by smelly pirates, probably goes for him for the same reason.
O'Hara is a fun pirate - I like seeing her play forward women, she portrayed quite a few of them around this point. Anthony Quinn is a strong villain - in fact the whole cast was pretty good. Universal ran a well oiled machine by this time.
