National Theatre Live: Treasure Island

Treasure Island is a 1950 adventure film produced by RKO-Walt Disney British Productions, adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 novel of the same name. Directed by Byron Haskin, it stars Bobby Driscoll as Jim Hawkins and Robert Newton as Long John Silver. Treasure Island was Disney's first completely live-action film and the first screen version of Treasure Island produced in color. It was filmed in the United Kingdom on location and at Denham Film Studios, Buckinghamshire. Newton's portrayal of Long John Silver has been influential on the portrayal of pirates in pop culture.
