| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostWorld's sleaziest pirates don't do much of interest. |
| User ReviewKevin GThis movie is 100% mockable. Give it a watch if you're given the chance. This was HILARIOUS. |
| User ReviewVeronique Kvery cute movie own it watched it love it. |
| User ReviewPrivate UReally quite amusing, on a sunday afternoon |
| User ReviewBill TUnexpectedly entertaining and highly amusing tale of Blackbeard, played just way up to the maximum hilt by Robert Newton. Scenechewing all throughout the movie, he leaves no star unscathed (although Tom Thatcher does try as Captain Morgan) The story also is a non stop gigglefest of buried treasure, turncoats and other pirate tales, yarrrrrrr. All that's missing is the parrots yaerrrrr. |
| User ReviewBarry LVery silly but still a fantastic seagoing yarn. |
| User Reviewjay nLinda Darnell is incredibly lovely, Robert Newton chews the scenery to the nth degree, and Granny Clampett has a hilarious drunk scene but that all adds to the saturday matinee fun feel of this adventure. |
| User ReviewDeke PRobert Newton was the perfect pirate: 'Arrrrrgh'. Perhaps the earliest movie i remember ever going to, at the Avenue in Inglewood. Shd see it again, on youtube. . |
| User ReviewPaul DRobert Newton's Blackbeard is not as charasmatic as his Long John Silver, but this is still very much a performance worth watching. |
| User ReviewScott RGotta see it if you love the story of Blackbeard! |
