Treasure Island

Often darkly realistic, this filming of Stevenson's classic novel features Orson Welles (who was originally slated to direct as well, until that production was shut down and his script drastically altered) as cook-turned-pirate Long John Silver. When Silver learns of the treasure sought using a map from young Jim Hawkins (Kim Burfield), he schemes with the crew to mutiny and steal the booty. With Walter Slezak, Lionel Stander. 96 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
