Directed by Victor Fleming, based on the classic 1883 novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island (1934) is perhaps the best film treatment of the book yet produced. The story follows young Jim Hawkins, who faces a struggle of loyalty while on a quest to recover buried pirate treasure from a remote island. The 18th Century story plays out well, with decent costuming and seafaring atmosphere. The cast is great, including Jackie Cooper as Jim Hawkins, Wallace Beery as Long John Silver, Lionel Barrymore as Billy Bones, Lewis Stone and Nigel Bruce.
