Aww man! this is a classic walt disney masterpiece. A hillarious story of a pirate called blackbeard who is held in limbo until he performs a good deed. Blackbeard gets his chance when he helps the local track team who haven't a chance of ever winning anything, this warm hearted comedy will have you laughing from the moment he arrives to the moment he leaves! a must buy for all the children!

Peter Ustinov ad-libs his way through most of this film and Dean Jones does admirably as his straight man. Together they make a great double act that kept me laughing all the way through. Throw in a moustachioed villain with the wonderful name of Silky Seymour, some batty old ladies, a load of slapstick and a cheer-raising athletics contest and you have a great couple of hours of fun for adults and children alike. Highly recommended.

Steve Walker (Dean Jones) is the new track coach. Looks like track is a joke. However, Steve is determined to change that but only in an above board effort. Seems that Blackbeard's decedents 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 whom is full of high morals accidently 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 Blackbird 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 transferee form a video. It is in 1.33:1 Full Screen format and fuzzy around the edges. However, the film is so much fun you will not care.
John Goldfarb Please Come Home (1965)~ Peter Ustinov

A perfect little film to settle down to watch with the kids on a dismal Sunday afternoon. Very amusing. Great quality and speedy delivery. Thank you.
