Factual errors: The flag flying on Blackbeard’s pirate ship at the end is completely inaccurate. Blackbeard flew his own flag which depicted a man stabbing a heart with an arrow. The one used in the film was the flag flown by Richard Worley, another infamous pirate. more

Have a fun time as Peter Ustinov and Dean Jones frolic in "Blackbeard's Ghost." An innocent family movie where Ustinov gives a demonstration on fun acting. Typical Disney fare of the 1950's & 1960's. Have a few laughs without having to think to deep. I rated this a 7 on the scale.
