Watch Blackbeard's Ghost For Free

Wow! Such a good movie.

Sadly Over-hyped

Better Late Then Never

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

at first sigh, a comedy who use the skills, obvious in many other films, of two good actors. in fact, only a great comedy. who gives to Peter Ustinov to create a lovely character who conquer entire story. and that is the basic fact who gives color and force and charm to a film who remains seductive decade by decade. the small pieces of history. the cliché of bad guy. the mediocre sport team , the pressure to lost their tradition to a small community. tradition, legends and hilarious meeting are only the best ingredients for a story for every age. one of films useful for rediscover the taste of a period. and the flavor of an age. and, sure, to enjoy one interesting performances of Peter Ustinov. who gives a memorable hero portrait , fascinating, seductive, nice scene by scene.

A feel-good Disney production, a priggish track-and-field coach (Jones) accidentally invokes the ghost of the centuries-old notorious pirate Blackbeard (Ustinov), who has been stuck in limbo eternally after death because of his 10th wife's vicious curse, while being only visible to the coach, Blackbeard needs to do something good to break the curse, so he decides to assist the coach's lame team to win the college competition (using his stunt of invisibility) in order to win the wager to pay back the bank mortgage and save the hereditary hotel which runs by Blackbeard's descendants (a gaggle of old ladies led by Lanchester). Directed by Robert Stevenson after his post-MARY POPPINS (1964, 7/10) glory, the film fully taps into the jejune bickering and antics between the coach and Blackbeard, an anachronistic farce which hones up to a gratifying hilarity meanwhile tips the scales in hasty absurdity. The over- exploited shtick of Blackbeard's invisibility is as stock as fatiguable, it is a decent family treat after all. Ustinov's eloquent oratory shines even under the circumstances of nothing stimulating needs to be uttered, whose mellifluous cadences alone can save the audience from the stodgy character' default setting, a tad annoying, a tad self-boasting, but nothing remotely hints Blackbeard's venomous nature. Dean Jones, with a Sean Connery-alike visage, contradictorily jibes with Ustinov's maverick image, has a holier-than-thou standard offering in his goodly appearance, completely sedated under Ustinov's grandstanding and so is Suzanne Pleshette, a professor of child psychology but more frisky and outward than her formal love-interest. Elsa Lanchester, owns a great gambit as an offbeat soothsayer, shamefully then steps off most of the time as a sightseer. The embellished plot-line of the track events and casino gambling works well with the laughters, Stevenson and screenwriters surely had contrived a plan to let everything looks plausible no matter how illogical it seems, so as hard as they tried, it is a run-of-the-mill level of creation and self-aware of its demographical appeal.

Disney have a great share of making joyous movies for a long time, every little movie they make shares laugh over my face, and BlackBeard's Ghost is no exception too. The movie with all its dainties is an awesome treat to watch. Actually I wasn't a kid when I first saw this movie in fact I was in late twenties and I enjoyed that movie a lot. There are many pirate movies but the way Peter Ustinov played Captain BlackBeard was not just hilarious; it was utter treat to watch him playing treacherous captain gone good. The movie is very funny and I love it any time I watch it. The movie is highly recommended for those who wanna have nostalgic attack!

The movie is is a great all around, has a good storie and the characters are absolutely perfect, specially peter Ustinov, is absolutely fantastic in the movie, haven't seen a more funny picture ever!!!.A truly funny picture dosen't try to be funny but it just is. Recommend every one to see it.This is the story of black beard the ghost, whose wife put a curse on him, causing him to be stuck in limbo between the world of the living and dead i.e a Ghost, to be free of his curse he has to do a good deed which for Blackbeard is extremely difficult and all through the film goes wrong.
