Treasure Island [VHS] [Import]
Basic story is a mysterious sailor who calls himself Captain takes lodging in an obscure location. He is visited by mysterious unsavory stringers and pays the sun of the Inn owner to watch for a mysterious one legged man. The story leads to tests of loyalty with pirates and a treasure island.
Of course nothing can replace the book Treasure Island ISBN: 3895084581. However the Charlton Heston version comes closest. I also have a copy of “Treasure Island” (1934) because that is what I watched as a kid and thought of it as a classic. But Wallace Beery is of a different acting era than Heston; yet he is good in his way for the time. He has a way of looking at you. He is also much better then the Bobby Driscoll version of (1950.) Actually "Muppets Treasure Island" is better then the Bobby Driscoll version.
This film should be a part of you permanent library. It has lots of energy.
