Plot: Jim Hawkins (Jackie Cooper) is a young man who helps his mother run the Admiral Benbow Inn outside Bristol, England. One fine day a strange-looking man named Billy Bones (Lionel Barrymore) arrives at the Benbow and drunkenly discusses treasure. Bones drops dead, and Hawkins finds a treasure map in the dead man’s chest. A friend of Hawkins, Dr. Livesey (Otto Kruger), recognizes the map for what it is and convinces the local squire (Nigel Bruce) to raise the money for a voyage to recoup gold and jewels. But in hiring a crew, Hawkins and Livesy unknowingly put together a motley group of pirates, led by the one-legged Long John Silver (Wallace Beery). As the ship sails, non-pirate crew members begin to disappear, and by the time the boat reaches Treasure Island, Long John and his companions vastly outnumber Jim and Livesy’s stalwart crew. Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel is among the best children’s adventures ever written, and numerous films have attempted to capture the never-a-dull-moment spirit of the book. Fleming’s rendition was the first one filmed in the sound era, and for many, it remains the best and most faithful version.
