Review of Blackbeard's Ghost (1968) by Danielle H — 05 May 2009
Classic (and by the numbers) Disney fun that works thanks to the great casting of Disney fav Dean Jones and Peter Ustinov.
It has all the usual things. A guy (Jones) who gets in trouble for what other people do, and everyone thinks he's nuts. There is a zany scene involving a police officer, a jerk that doesn't like our main character at all and tries to get in his way, a villain that is so clean cut but practically curls his mustache between his fingers, college kids that wouldn't think of drinking, doing drugs or having sex, old ladies about to lose their home and need money by a certain date, and a wacky scene involving wild sporting stunts where underdog athletes are aided in winning in very unorthodox ways.
Not a great movie, but a fun one.
