Blackbeard's Ghost

In this lighthearted and entertaining 1968 fantasy comedy, Peter Ustinov brings his signature charm as Blackbeard's ghost, a pirate cursed to roam the earth unless he performs a good deed. When Steve Walker (Dean Jones) inadvertently conjures up the ghost with an antique bedpan spell, he finds himself bound to the wayward pirate by a magical curse. As Steve navigates his new reality, he must also contend with a group of feisty elderly ladies trying to save their beloved inn from being demolished to make way for a crooked casino, all while Steve and Blackbeard form an unlikely partnership to revive the college's track team and win the big meet. With its zany antics, colorful characters, and winning performances, "Blackbeard's Ghost" is a delightful seasonal treat that will leave you smiling.
