"Long John Silver's Return to Treasure Island" is the pirate adventure sequel to the classic, "Treasure Island". Long John, Robert Newton reprising his bravura performance as the one-legged buccaneer, saves Jim Hawkins and the Colonial Governor's daughter from the evil Captain Medosa. Naturally, there is more to his rescue plan than meets the eye; Jim has a medallion, which is the key to finding more gold onTreasure Island.The crafty old pirate is up to all his old tricks in this fabulous swashbuckling yam for all the family. To several generations of moviegoers, Robert Newton was Long John Silver.This dark, physically striking British actor had a unique voice and the malleable features, which permitted him to attempt a wide variety of acting parts. Newton did not have the conventional leading man looks but he nevertheless dominated many of the films in which he starred. Moreover, he was constantly rated among Britain's top box-office draws, an exceptional accomplishment for any character actor. It is a testament to Robert Louis Stevenson's flamboyant written dialogue and the acting skill and imagination used by Robert Newton in his films that our perception of pirates has been for evermore coloured by this one fictional character - Long John Silver.
