Caroline Sanborn Chicago Tribune 06/07/2021
If you like the romance of pirates and hidden treasure, of old sailing vessels and lonely islands, you'll enjoy each moment of this presentation of Robert Louis Stevenson's tale. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety 11/05/2020
Many better have been written, but the strangely fascinating something that is Robert Louis Stevenson is only in Treasure Island. Only a hint of this something is in Mr. Tourneur's screen version, and that hint is in the first few feet. Go to Full Review NYT Staff New York Times 11/05/2020
Those least familiar with Stevenson's story will enjoy it most, because, while it has many excellent scenes and some good acting, it falls so far short of its original that any comparison of the two must emphasize its defects. Go to Full Review Wid Gunning The Film Daily 11/05/2020
It's a real, thrilling pirate tale, is Treasure Island, and one which happily came to the screen under the guidance of a man capable of realizing on the artistic opportunities presented by the story as well as its many blood-curdling moments. Go to Full Review Burns Mantle Photoplay 11/05/2020
In attempting to paint the lily, [Tourneur] has cheapened it by more than one tawdry stroke. Nevertheless he has made a very entertaining story of a hunt for buried treasure. Go to Full Review Laurence Reid Motion Picture News 11/05/2020
The action on the pirate ship, the conflict on the island, the incidents which lead up to Jim's adventure -- these points ore what make the picture retain the vital quality of the story. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
