This is a movie classic, of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel and it is where
we get much of the idea of what a pirate is like, black spot and all. It is the classic tale of people with a treasure map after pirates gold, while most of the crew are actually pirates themselves.
This leads to serious problems. Robert Newton, with his pirate accent as Long John Silver is
incredible. He and Bobby Driscoll as Master Jim Hawkins create an
interesting friendship; Long John as mentor, pirate, thief and man of
honor. On the, other hand Master Jim Hawkins as a naive young man,
honest, trusting. When those that find the treasure are saved from the
pirates, and things don't work out to Long John Silver's advantage, Master Hawkins honors his friend and
helps him escape. I love this movie.
