Movie Review: "The King of B-Westerns & Serials...VCI Entertainment ~ Long John Silver (1954)"
Summary: 5 Stars
VCI Entertainment presents the original adventure restored to all it's theatrical glory "Long John Silver" (1954) (Dolby digitally remastered) (photographed in Eastman Color), the original "Pirates of the Caribbean" that started it all...the most colorful pirate of all time, roaring across a boundless sea of spectacle in full widescreen Cinemascope...Under director Byron Haskin, producer Joe Kaufmann, based on the characters of Robert Louis Stevenson, screenplay by Martin Rackin, music composed by David Buttolph...the cast include Robert Newton (Long John Silver), Kit Taylor (Jim Hawkins), Connie Gilchrist (Purity Pinker), Lloyd Berrell (Capt. Mendoza, 'El Toro'), Grant Taylor (Patch), Rod Taylor (Israel Hands (as Rodney Taylor), Harvey Adams (Sir Henry Strong), Muriel Steinbeck (Lady Strong), Henry Gilbert (Billy Bowlegs), John Brunskill (Old Stringley), Eric Reiman (Lanky pirate), Harry Hambleton (Big Eric), Syd Chambers (Ned Shill), George Simpson-Lyttle (Capt. Asa MacDougall (as George Simpson-Little), Tony Arpino (Mendoza pirate). . . . .our story has to do with the continuation of "Treasure Island" based on the chronicles of Robert Louis Stevenson...who is this rival known as the pirate Mendoza to Long John Silver...what plan does Silver have to rescue the governor's daughter...how can Jim Hawkins best serve Silver once again in obtaining a swift fast ship to return to the treasure that has been in the back of Silver's mind these past years.....there is a great deal of entertainment for the serious "film-buff"...all courtesy of VCI Entertainment, who in my humble opinion is the best there is in restoring early serials and features like this one.

Great job by VCI Entertainment for releasing the "Long John Silver" (1954), digital transfere with a clean, clear and crisp print...looking forward to more of the same from the ''50s vintage...order your copy now from Amazon or VCI Entertainment, stay tuned once again with a top notch film releases from VCI...so climb aboard and get ready for some high adventure that only VCI Entertainment (King of the Serials) can deliver...just the way we like 'em!
