Yes, there are buccaneers, 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.

Bosley Crowther, New York Times
The arrangement on the part of Mr. Rackin is something less than inspired, and poor old Long John gains nothing in stature or fictional scope by being revived.

Charles Cassady, Common Sense Media
Ahoy matey! Classic character, so-so sequel.
