Summary: 4 Stars
THE BOY AND THE PIRATES was written and directed by one of the kings of mid-20th Century schlock, Bert I. Gordon.
SYNOPSIS:
12 year old Jimmy finds a bottled genie as he walks along the Massachusetts shore and is granted his fondest desire: to be a pirate! But the reality of buccaneer life is mostly drudgery and sweat and nothing like Jimmy's fantasies. All he wants now is to go back home to his parents.
CAST--
The young star of the movie, Charles Herbert debuted as a kindergartener in the Lucy/Desi comedy, THE LONG, LONG TRAILER (1953). He portrayed Sophia Loren's stepson in HOUSEBOAT (1958) and was one of the Mackay kids in the big screen version of PLEASE DON'T EAT THE DAISIES (1960). Charles was also in THE FLY (1958) and William Castle's 13 GHOSTS (1960), his last film. After some sporadic TV work as an adolescent, Charles Herbert was out of showbiz at age 20. He was drug addicted for nearly 40 years, but finally turned his life around in 2005.
Herbert's pre-teen co-star in "Boy and Pirates," Susan Gordon (Katrina/Kathy) is daughter of director Bert.
Baritone Murvyn Vye (Blackbeard) debuted in 1947's GOLDEN EARRINGS, and introduced the title song.
Paul Guilfoyle (Snipe) tries to kill Jimmy Cagney in WHITE HEAT (1949), but instead is murdered while locked in a car trunk.
Additionally, this fine DVD features CRYSTALSTONE (1988)-- It's the story of young orphans, brother and sister, who embark on an adventure to locate a magical gem. Along the way they escape from a Captain Hook-like pirate and are befriended by a ship's commander who's often quite befuddled by grog.
Also recommended--
Disney's BLACKBEARD'S GHOST (1968) stars Peter Ustinov as the pirate along with Dean Jones and Elsa Lanchester.
