casting of Jim Hawkins


as this movie was a sequel to Treasure Island I can't understand why Bobby Driscoll did not come out to Australia (where this movie was filmed) to reprise his role of Jim Hawkins and you never know, us Aussies could have saved Bobby's career!

He would have been too old at 17. (Though I'm not too sure of Kit's Australian accent.)

That would have been great but I don't think anyone could have really saved Bobby Driscoll. He might have ended up a drug addict anyways...it was just fate that he died. Too bad though
