Blackboard is discussing what a
fine purchase" his prisoner, Miss
Darnell, is. Andes gets in a duel
defending her from one of the
pirate crew and runs the man
through. Our best man with a
cutlass, remarks Blackboard of
the deceased. It's not the original
cost. it's the upkeep. Bendix then
gathers some of the crew for the
burial services at sea. Pick him
up. he says. Let's try for distance
this time.
This may be somewhat gruesome
comedy. but it would be more try
ing played straight.
Bendix, incidentally, adds an
anachronistic note to the comedy
facets of Blackboard" He be-
longs in the bleachers yelling for
the Dodgers and here he is on a
pirate ship.
The plot of the Technicolor film,
if you are interested in that, has
Andes shipping aboard Black
boards vessel in search of in
formation which will prove Sir
Henry Morgan still is a pirate.
Miss Darnen is the daughter of
another famed pirate and a chip
off the old block. She is on board
because she has made off with
several trunkloads of Morgan's
loot and had planned to meet the
sea captain Blackboard had just
succeeded by hanging him from
the yard arm.
This gets somewhat complicated,
but it won't bother you during the
unreeling and you don't need to
know any more about it now. New
ton Is wonderful right up to the
moment Of Blackbeard's death and
there are several rousing action
sequences. Blackbeard's end is ac-
complished by burying him up to
his chin in the sand while the tide
is out. Slow but effective.

The Cast.
By Horry Macarthur

There seems to have been a
difference of opinion about the
intent of blackboard, the Pirate, :"
but it has worked out to the bene-
Ifit of the new Keith's attraction.
Blackboard" is. as you hardly
need to be told, another of the
Iseagoing westerns" to which the
movies have turned since television
took over the dusty western field.
AS Alan LeMay's screenplay is
directed by Raoul Walsh, and
tplayed by a cast headed by Robert
Newton. it can't seem to, make up
its mind whether it is comedy or
straight adventure. Great stretches
Iof it-including some of the action
sequences and a romance between
Linda Darnell and Keith Andes
are played fairly straight.
Newton. William Bendix and
several other performers. on the
other hand, have been allowed to
whoop it up as If they were viii
lains in an 1890 melodrama. The
net result is that "Blackbeard''
lis a funny enough spool of its
genre for those who prefer to see
lit that way and at the same time
should satisfy those who like to
take their adventure seriously.
Newton's portrait of Blackboard
presents such a monstrous char
acter that he couldn't be any,
thing but comedy. He rollicks
through the role with the great
est Of relish. giving the pirate
Ichieftain broad touches Of Laugh
tons Henry VIII, Bella Lugosi and
w. c. Fields.
He employs the foulest treach-
cry with great glee. He would
Idouble-cross his best friend and
probably bash his mothers skull
for the gold in her teeth. He has
no qualms about knocking off
whoever happens to be available
at the time, because he feels it is
good luck to bury a dead man
with treasure.
AS played by Newton he seems
to be a real Jolly fellow in spite
of all this.
There are portions Of the
screenplay itself which lean no
toriously toward spooflng pirate
films. There is the scene where

proxies on this deadly supersonic
adventure.
A more moving, if less expert,
insight into the lives involved is
provided by Miss Todd as the
daughter of one seemingly de-
mented man who tragically gave
her devotion to another one equally
obSessed. It is portrait of endless
anguish to match the bewitched
excitement of the figures played
by Richardson, and by Patrick as
the husband.
There are others, just as mean
ingful in their various ways by
such players as John Justin, the
pilot who makes the triumphant
fight; Joseph Tomelty as q plane
designer who wishes he had chosen
another career; and Dinah Sheri-
dan as the successful test pilots
wife.
The smallest demand of a pic
ture as vividly conceived as
Breaking the Sound Barrier" is
exacting. That the sum total of
them all is met so well makes it
one of the screens superlative
achievements, a truly hair-rais-
ing adventure film of extraordi-
