Blackbeard's Ghost (1968)

In this enchanting comedy, the Carolina coast sets the stage for an unexpected encounter between two worlds. The story unfolds at Blackbeard's Inn, an eccentric establishment teetering on the brink of foreclosure, run by the Daughters of the Buccaneers. These lively ladies lay claim to a notorious lineage, tracing their ancestry straight back to the infamous pirate, Blackbeard. Enter the new track coach of Godolphin College, an earnest outsider who unwittingly becomes the lodger of this quirky inn. His life takes a turn for the extraordinary when he stumbles upon the spectral figure of Sir Peter Ustinov, incarnating the legendary Blackbeard himself. The pirate, it seems, has been cursed with immortality by his last wife, a formidable witch, his only reprieve to commit - for the first time in his roguish existence - a truly good act. As the local mobster circles like a shark, threatening to seize the inn, Blackbeard and the track coach find themselves entwined in a comedic adventure. Is Blackbeard capable of shifting his rapscallion ways and performing a good deed to break his curse? Will the Daughters of the Buccaneers manage to save their ancestral home? The movie, Blackbeard's Ghost, invites you on this whimsical journey of redemption, laughter, and unexpected alliances, delivering a delightful blend of history and fantasy.
