I've only seen one other version and it was the one with Robert Palance:

It was nice but rather child-oriented and not spectacular by any means. I watched it with a friend and afterwards we listened to "Treasure Island" by Running Wild:

Post by: traveller on June 23, 2009, 06:23:53 PM: Thanks for your comments. Blind Pew is one of my favourite villains. I painted him after watching a Treasure Island movie from the 60s or 70s. It´s a really good story. The picture depicts one of the opening scenes when Pew and his gang have searched the Inn "Admiral Benbow" looking for Billy Bones treasure map. What old Pew don´t know is that he will be deserted by his men and killed in a few minutes by Supervisor Dance and his mounted posse. But Black Dog (the pirate in black dress behind him) will continue to do mischief...
