One of the best movies of all time. Thanks so much for uploading :-)
Oh, btw, I know a lot of people have asked about how to get the soundtrack to this movie. Unfortunately, this does not have a soundtrack (at least to my knowledge), but the Chieftains did release an album called The Chieftains Film Cuts which has 8 tracks from Treasure Island on it. It also has scores from several others movies. It's really good, and if you're a fan of this music you should definitely give it a try :-)
I agree that this version is the best and most faithful to the book. However, one little thing always bothered me about this scene here. In the book, Israel Hands and Tom Morgan are not mentioned as being amongst the pirates who attack the inn. Jim and his mother are clearly watching what's going on once they make it safely to the woods. Not to mention Pew clearly calls out their names. You would think Jim would recognize Israel and Tom on board the Hispanola.
I agree that this is a fabulous version of the film. I must agree, though, that Heston rather spoils it for me. It's his acting I personally don't care for- he just seems always the same in all his movies, and I just don't buy him as Long John. But we all have our own taste in actors.
I don't understand. I've read some of the most vitriolic hate filled comments about this move and Heston as Long John. Treasure Island has been one of my favorite novels for 50 years (and yes, I've read Hesse and Forrester, etc) and this version does the book great service. Heston, Oliver Reed, Christopher Lee, Richard Johnson, Christian Bale? What the hell do people want? And I don't give a damn if Heston wanted to own a rifle or not, he was terrific as Long John!
One question: Let's suppose they manage to keep it a complete secret and avoided Long John Silver and his men in the first place and had an honest (and oblivious) crew to begin with. How on earth would they manage to explain to the crew when they come upon 700,000 British Pounds worth of treasure in mid 18th century money? It's not like 'ooh, what luck! Let's load it aboard and go home'.
@Tsogobauggi Yeah, while he might have been tough and strong, his final moments of calling out 'don't leave old Pew!' never ceased to tug my heart strings even if he was a pirate.
@thejustnosy, you are absolutely right.... It's the fear of the unknown, the isolation... and then when he appears, the reality is even creepier than you imagined, because it plays with your brain - even as he does his "poor Pew" routine, he's ready to strike like a snake.
jim shouldve cracked pew in the face with that cane, but I love the dust plume that comes out of his clothes when he hits him in the stomach
