This movie and television star, Robert Newton, originated the Long John Silver character in the Walt Disney movie "Treasure Island" four years earlier. In that movie he created the everlasting pattern of "pirate speech" which has been copied by every actor since who played a pirate, and is still used today. His, "ARRRGGGHH me matey!" style became his movie legacy.
He was also a notorious alcoholic who actually had "non-drinking" clauses in his contracts because he was so unreliable and erratic. He drank himself to death when he was only 50 years old.
