I don't think Robert Newton has ever been recognized for the outstanding actor that he was. This is an example of a master artist who does something so well; he makes it look so easy, that it seems a big nothing, when in fact it's a very big something. Newton should get a lifetime achievement award for the characters he created; everything from seventeenth century pirate to twentieth century modern man. I never get tired of his most rewarding performances. Aarrrh men.

[@christianalanwilson434]

R. Newton literally defined the characterization of a pirate from 1950 until even now, almost 70 years later. We even have a national "talk like a pirate day" where people talk exactly like he talks in his films. The Pirates of the Caribbean movies owe a great debt of gratitude to the character of Long John Silver for making Pirates the despicable, yet rascally sympathetic icons they arrrr. Now THAT is a legacy.

[@markwall4532]

Great actor played a superb bill Sykes in David Lean's Oliver twist

[@philipwebb960]

He also played an excellent Pistol in Olivier's "Henry V."

[@johnholden1584]

I agree. Robert Newton was the definitive Long John Silver,and brilliant in many other acting parts.

[@eliotreader8220]

@@johnholden1584 I think this is perhaps the best version as it is very close to how Long john was written in the actual book?

Robert Newton NAILED the role of Pirate. There's nothing more to add to a "pirate" portrayal.

I loved the 1950 Treasure Island with Robert Newton. I didn't even know this film existed. Sadly, Newton would pass away two years after this movie debuted. I was born in 1978, and Treasure Island was just as popular when I was a child as it was in my parent's generation.

[@dexterbernard2701]

Robert Newton IS LJS. No one else can play that part. He had it down to-a-tee! Actor's today...

[@baroqueman1]

The wonderful Robert Newton is still the definitive Long John Silver, unsurpassed by none ! The plot, settings and general ambience are sooo campy, yet entertaining. Perhaps nowadays, this film would be considered to be non-PC, but during the late 1950s, nobody would have thought of such concepts. All good innocuous flim fun!

[@jb-qi8fz]

Robert Newton, the best actor of all time. The facial and eye expressions are priceless!

A sequel to Treasure Island with the excellent actor Robert Newton!? Shiver me timbers-it brings me back to when I was a wee lad ahrrrr! Treasure island was a great movie-and this is a fun revisit. Back when movies were more like theater productions and not the super realism or the computer generated fantasies of later years. It is nice to see the actors and sets, the costumes and writing and locations carry the movie.

[@Rennimagus]

Totally just realized that Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is a remake of this! Governor's daughter Elizabeth is abducted by pirates. Rescued by a dimwitted boy and a cunning pirate. Boy has a medallion that leads to treasure. Pirate puts together a ramshackle crew. Pirate steals ships right out from under his enemies. Pirate and kid are marooned and escape from island. Boy taken by pirates. Pirate outsmarts enemy at the end, saves the boy. Pirate gets away at the end. Raise the ages of the kids, add a little CGI and a Keith Richards impersonation and you've got the biggest pirate franchise of all time!

Probably the most obvious model of Pirates of the Caribbean. - But nowadays, unfortunately, children are treated more like dogs and monkeys while the treasure coordinator is portrayed as a kraken or other sea monsters :D :D :) The Bible 1. Peter 4 : 8 (1:02:49) KJV: And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. (1:13:56) ISV: Above all, continue to love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.

Long before there was "Pirates of the Caribbean," there was "Treasure Island" ("Long John Silver"). Robert Newton's role was so memorable that every, single pirate that came down the pike tried to imitate him, to no avail. Even the great Geoffrey Rush gave an acceptable portrayal, but everyone is just riffing off of Robert Newton... period.

The Mrs. says: The Movie studios always had every one's clothes so clean and you know that was not the case in those times, those drinking holes were filthy and everyone in there was rotten. Were looking at men who toiled on ships their whole lives, that is if they lived long enough, what the hell, where were the laundry matts,?? the real life appearance would be you living in the clothes you have on for many months and you only changed when the damn things literally rotted off your back.. Mr. Newton was suburb in this role and no one will ever be able to replace him, one of a kind like so many talented British actors and so grateful You-Tube carries these Cinema Jewels.

[@aresaurelian]

Rum. Not wataaaaarrrrr.... Brilliant actor for Long John Silver. The respect was from his deadliness and his strong grip, able to strangle a man four times his size.... yet he never had nor did he want to.

This was the first American film in which the Sydney Symphony Orchestra was engaged to perform. The soundtrack was recorded in the Ballroom at the old Mark Foye's department store by a gentleman whose name was Alan Allen. The soundtrack was released on a 10" LP by Festival Records in Australia and RCA Victor in the United States. Unfortunately, the stereo tracks, recorded on 16-millimetre magnetic film, appear to be lost.

If no one's mentioned this already, THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL to the 1950 Disney Treasure Island film! What they have in common is that Long John Silver is played by the same lead actor but otherwise that's it. This is a different treatment on the same basic storyline. Heh... I have yet to see the 1950 Disney film, too. I have seen bits and pieces of the Treasure Island series they had on Disney Channel in the 1980s(?). Robert Newton was long dead by then. He died 2 years after this film was released theatrically.

We never let our respected foreign friends in on this secret language because, well, it's a guilty pleasure and it's almost embarrassing. So one thing you can do to prove you are really an American when working in a call center is to answer the phone in the following way: Thank ye fer callin' Skynet Industries.
