> Have you read the book, Eva?

Nope, but I DID see the miniseries with Jane Seymour (I think it was) VERY different!

> (Have you ever clocked the version they show on TCM? If anybody'd have the complete version, I'd think it'd be them.)

I don't think so. Do you have it? It is EASY to get the timing from either a DVD or a tape.

> I wonder what other RN stuff is in the public domain.

Dunno, but my guess would be most of the old English stuff.

> So what was it like discovering him the other way around--seeing him play the classic romantic hero and *then* seeing him as Long John Silver?

Long John Silver, for me, came after several others. Fire Over England, Major Barbara (which I am re-watchng right now), and I think Dark Journey. I enjoy ALL his roles. He makes SUCH a wonderful despickable character.

> And how long did it take you, Eva, through all that taping, to figure out it was Robert Newton who played the hero in JI?

I can't remember; some months perhaps? I got to see Leslie Banks and Emlyn Williams a few times on the way <grin>. Didn't keep those, though.
