Blackbeard's Ghost

Blackbeard's Ghost (1968) — watch online a Walt Disney family comedy directed by Robert Stevenson, starring Peter Ustinov as the infamous pirate doomed to wander the spirit world until he manages one genuinely good deed.

His chance arrives in a sleepy New England college town. Steve Walker — Dean Jones — accidentally summons the buccaneer and gets stuck with an invisible, rum-loving ghost shadowing his every move. The old pirate's purpose turns out to be protecting a group of elderly women, led by Elsa Lanchester, from crooks who want to bulldoze their seaside home for a casino. Suzanne Pleshette plays the love interest caught in the chaos.

Ustinov's booming comic performance is the engine that keeps the film moving across its 106 minutes. A genuine Disney comedy from the studio's live-action golden era. Watch Blackbeard's Ghost (1968) online on iFILM.
