I haven't watched ALL of this one, but from what I observed while watching
parts of it, making screenshots, it looks like a great film. Of course not as
good as its 1950 Disney 'parent,' "Treasure Island" with that incomparable
little man, Bobby Driscoll :love:
The 'Star' of this outing, Kit Taylor, is very pleasant to gaze upon, though,
and I really can't imagine anyone else playing Long John Silver besides Robert
Newton :)
This VCI DVD features the film in its original aspect ratio, well, here's what
the DVD cover says:
...brand new DVD - the likes of which have probably not been seen
since its initial theatrical release! The film has been faithfully
restored to its full widescreen CinemaScope glory with beautifully
rich color and detail! The very entertaining soundtrack has likewise
been restored from a rare original 4-track recording and remixed to
Dolby Digital 5.1
So no more of the horrible Pan & Scan like on the Alpha Video disc :)
Honestly, it amazed me while making the screenshots, to see just how much data
was excised to produce the 4:3 version. *Whole people* were missing from some
scenes - It was like 50% or more of the screen was cut out! It was difficult
for me to make exact frame-for-frame screenshots to match the Alpha Video
disc, as there was so much more in some scenes, that I could hardly tell where
I was...
If you check IMDb for Kit Taylor's role in this film, you'll have to scroll
down to the bottom of the listing, as his name is next to the last! He
should've had at the least Third-Billing, according to screen time and
importance to the story...
