Treasure Island (1934) -- (Movie Clip) Billy Bones At the party for his innkeeper mother (Dorothy Peterson), Jack (Jackie Cooper) observes the arrival of cranky Billy Bones (Lionel Barrymore), early in MGM's hit 1934 production of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, directed by Victor Fleming.

Payment Deferred (1932) -- Movie Clip) Is It True He's A Banker?
