This Treasure Island sequel, in which Robert Newton reprises his role as the charismatic Long John Silver, bears a strong resemblance to Disney's 2003 Pirates of the Caribbean. Yes, there are buccanee...( read more  read more... )rs, but there's also a mysterious medallion and a ruthless pirate (Lloyd Berrell) who'll do anything -- including abducting young Jim Hawkins (Kit Taylor) and the governor's lovely daughter (Thora Smith) -- to get it. Watch for Rod Taylor in a cameo.

    I think this is called 'Long Silver's return to treasure island' and its based on the book by Robert L. Stevensons 'Long John Silver' which is the sequal to world famous fictional 'Treasure Island' despite what the review says its portrays very little of Disneys Pirates of the Ca...( read more)ribbean. I think you would have to go back before 1954 for Disneys inspiration. Its a decent jolly film, quite funny at times, and shot in technicolor. Connie Gilchrist is good, but Long John Silver and Jim are a little 'boysih' for my like.
