Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe poor audio quality of Orson Welles' dialogue was apparently due to his recording all his lines in one night in Rome whilst drinking white wine. In 1979, Welles claimed his voice in the film was re-dubbed by another actor. This was true for some versions of the film.
- GoofsAs the men run from the jolly boat, a shell lands and explodes nearby. However, this is impossible as the pirates were shooting cannonballs, not exploding shells.
- Quotes
Billy Bones: They'll be a sea mist tonight, and maybe horrors climbing up at us, outta the sea onto the land. Keep watching!

Disappionting
So far as I've seen, this is the most commendable of all interpretations of Robert Lewis Stevenson's stirring book; yet, still a great disappointment.
Most of the cast did well enough in their rolls, with the exception of, believe it or not, Orson Welles. Mr. Welles so severely under played the part of Long John Silver he made the character completely uninteresting; that and his unintelligible mumbling fatally scuttles what should have been a great and memorable film.
The music of Natale Massara, another problem, while expertly orchestrated, is derivative of other works and does nothing to convey the feeling of a thrilling tale of the sea. It would have been better suited to an episode of "Little House On The Prairie" with it's ocean of grass.
I certainly won't say that it is a waste of time to watch this version, but if it were not for Wolf Mankowitz writing the screenplay, this might well have been a complete failure.
For a real treat, go see "Muppet Treasure Island". You won't be sorry! More information at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117110/ .
