Treasure Island (1972)
A Terrible Version

A terrible version.
Wooden acting, mumbled lines,inept background music...etc etc.
Who ever said this is the 'definitive version of Treasure Island.' has not read the book.
One of the most important parts of the book is when young Jim sees Silver for the first because he has been warned about the one-legged sailor. To win Jim's trust, R.L. Stevenson has Black Dog appearing in The Spyglass and Silver chases him out.
I have 4 version of Treasure Island. This is by far the worse. The Charlton Heston is good but the 1951 Disney version is best. (The Muppets Treasure Island is brilliant!).
