This film seemed to be a staple of late nineteen fifties Saturday afternoon television. Even a ten year old could discern the broad elements of self-parody, and the motley collection of Dickensian characters....Equally important, the movie contains one of cinema's greatest one-liners: "I am the King of Spain!", perhaps second only in the low budget genre to "Slowly I turned." Yes, am a self-admitted Abbott & Costello fan as well, but "Blackbeard" outshines "Abbott & Costello Meet Captain Kidd" (1952)in almost every category. Perfection of a definitively weird sort, but perfection none the less. Alas, never actually saw it on the large screen.
