Short description
In this early film adaptation of the classic novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, young Jim Hawkins is caught up with the pirate Long John Silver in search of buccaneer Captain Flint's buried treasure.
What's left behind the scenes
- The head and one of the founders of the film company MGM, Louis B. Mayer (1884-1957), insisted that the film have a happy ending, so the finale had to be reshot. Wallace Beery (1885-1949) was so angered by the need to continue filming that he engaged in outright sabotage – he mixed up lines, spent hours in his dressing room, and took long breaks. As a result, what would have taken only one day of shooting stretched to four days.
