Caroline Sanborn Chicago Tribune 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. Jun 7, 2021 Full Review Variety Staff Variety 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. Nov 5, 2020 Full Review NYT Staff New York Times 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. Nov 5, 2020 Full Review Wid Gunning The Film Daily 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. Nov 5, 2020 Full Review Burns Mantle Photoplay 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. Nov 5, 2020 Full Review Laurence Reid Motion Picture News 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.
