In 1939, five years after making this cinematic adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson pirate adventure novel, Victor Fleming would go on to direct two movies that are even more classic: The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind. (Not bad, for a same-year twofer.)  But you can see his visual flair, and love of both spectacle and character, in this movie as well. Young Jackie Cooper plays Jim Hawkins, the boy who becomes embroiled in adventure aboard a pirate ship captained by Long John Silver – played with glee by Wallace Beery. Lionel Barrymore co-stars as Billy Bones, and the whole movie still works.
