As Long John Silver Robert Newton infects the audience with his own pleasure in the old villain’s silly sophistries.

Newton's Long John Silver is the ultimate buccaneer, a one-legged, squinty-eyed blackguard so piratical he even concludes a prayer with a hammy 'Ahhhhhrrrmen...'

Classic adventure and fun. Lots of intrigue and excitement. Robert Newton delivers the definitive pirate performance. It clocks in at about an hour and a half which is perfect to watch with your kids (read as just long enough before their interest drifts).

One of the best movies ever. With a very good and interesting story. Highly recommend.

Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean franchise starts here, and the Mouse should be paying the Robert Louis Stevenson Estate major royalties. Disney's first live action film is a stone cold Classic and while it lacks the novel's details, it more than compensates in character and casting. Robert Newton was born to play Long John Silver. Also, look for future Doctor Who Patrick Troughton in a brief role.

I was inspired to watch this following years of watching Tony Hancock's impromptu Robert Newton impressions. It's a colourful Disney romp but it gets a little tedious in the second half. Newton is fantastic!

I enjoyed the 1990 television adaptation with Christian Bale much better, but still a decent pirate movie with a nice, clean, short running time.
