Description:
Award-winning actor Peter Ustinov stars in this hilarious fantasy as the ghost of the legendary pirate Blackbeard. The once blackhearted scoundrel materializes in a small New England town, cursed to wander in limbo until he performs a good deed. He gets his chance when he decides to help a local college track team--that hasn't a ghost of a chance of winning! Blackbeard finds himself full of team spirit, and dispensing his own brand of invisible coaching--in this warmhearted comedy that will have you laughing from his first fade-in to his final fade-out!
Amazon.com:
In the moody prologue, amid a raging storm that evokes Hollywood golden-age high-seas swashbucklers, a foreboding scroll recounts the legend of one of the bloodiest pirates in the history of the Caribbean. Leave it to Disney to turn him into a fun-loving old prankster with a whimsical side. Peter Ustinov mugs shamelessly as the bombastic but harmless apparition who renounces his wicked ways to become the mischievous school spirit of the local college, much to the annoyance of straight-arrow track coach Dean Jones. Made in the heyday of Disney’s live-action family comedies, Blackbeard's Ghost is all haphazard but high-energy slapstick and squeaky-clean romance (courtesy of contemporary schoolmarm Suzanne Pleshette) performed with more gumption than grace, but there’s a nostalgic innocence to the whole overplayed affair. --Sean Axmaker
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great fun
I have read other reviews complaining about the quality and sound on this dvd. We have experienced no problems in that regard on the DVD we have received. The sound and quality is fine.
This classic movie is funny. My children have laughed and laughed at it. There are no bad words, no iffy scenes, nothing that would get me to turn off this movie and not allow my children to watch it.
Fair warning though, the pirate Blackbeard does like his drink.

Rating:  - Great movie!
As enjoyable as I remembered it as a kid.My son loves it now too!
Rating:  - Doesn't work
I have tried to read this DVD in three different units and it will not read in any of them.What to do??
Rating: - Good Vintage Disney
I enjoyed this movie, as it is Disney in its golden era (60's and 70's). Ustinov as Blackbeard was a bit over-the-top in his acting, but Dean Jones and Suzanne Pleshette were wonderful, as always. I would recommend this film for the kids of today; they just don't make 'em like this anymore.
Rating: - a great twist into the "life" of a ruthless pirate
This has been one of my favorite movies since I was a small child. My husband is a huge pirate finatic and Edward Teach "Blackbeard" is one of his favorites. When I first showed him this movie he loved this Disney twist on one of the most greusom pirates ever to sail the Spanish maine. Without stripping any of his authorotative persona Disney found a kid friendly (young or old) way to portray one of my favorite "villans" of all time.
