Review of Yellowbeard (1983) by Tracey C — 26 Feb 2010
YELLOWBEARD (1983).
A HEMDALE production.
Written by Graham Chapman & Peter Cook.
Not quite as amusing as I recall from childhood, but still a rollicking good pirate romp.
A stellar cast, overly exuberant performances, & gags that make one groan & laugh (despite oneself!).
In all, good, silly British fun!
Includes an uncredited cameo by David Bowie(!!) as the Ship's Torturer!
NB : this was Marty Feldman's final film.
The dedication at the end reads simply : "For Marty".
***3 out of 5 stars***.
