Customer Reviews

They don’t make them like this anymore

Steve Walker (Dean Jones) is the new track coach. Looks like the track is a joke. However, Steve is determined to change that, but only in an above-board effort. Seems that Blackbeard’s descendants, including Emily Stowecroft (Elsa Lanchester), are about to lose their heritage to an unscrupulous gangster. Steve would like to help them also, again in an honorable fashion. Steve, who is full of high morals, accidentally conjures Blackbeard’s Ghost (Peter Ustinov). The ghost has a different take on life. Yet he needs to change his wicked ways if he is ever to get out of limbo. The fun part of the movie is watching the interaction between Steve and Captain Blackbeard. What is funnier is that only Steve can see Blackbeard, so what could be a love interest between Steve and School psychiatrist Jo Anne Baker (Suzanne Pleshette) may be in jeopardy. This looks like a direct transfer from a video. It is in 1.33:1 Full-Screen format and fuzzy around the edges. However, the film is so much fun that you will not care.
