Review of Yellowbeard (1983) by Abel D — 21 Apr 2013

While Damski recreates the look of classic Hollywood pirate adventures well, and John Morris' score is fittingly bombastic and bold, 'Yellowbeard' is sadly really short on laughs, a surprise given the amount of iconic comedians involved and that Chapman, a former Python no less, helped write it.

But even their combined charisma can't elevate lame gags that either lack punch, or just ramble on and on with inadequate payoff.
