Die Schatzinsel Miniseries Episode 2 1966
"Die Schatzinsel" (Treasure Island) - 1966: An Overview This film is a live-action, East-German/Czechoslovak adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure novel. However, it's crucial to know that it is not a direct, faithful adaptation of the book. Instead, it is a highly liberal and stylised re-imagining that blends the pirate adventure with the popular genre of the time: the Euro-Western. Plot Summary (The Basic Premise) The core premise remains the same: a young man, Jim Hawkins, comes into possession of a treasure map and embarks on a voyage to a remote island. However, the 1966 version takes significant liberties: Setting: While the novel is set in the 18th century, this film has a distinct 19th-century "Wild West" feel, with characters using revolvers and wearing costumes that feel more like cowboys than classic 1700s pirates.
