Jenny,
I saw the version with Ronald Fraser as Captain Flint and I was disappointed. Firstly, I thought nearly everyone had been miscast. Secondly, the film was too short. Thirdly, the plot seemed to have been simplified. I don't think you should miss it. And I don't think there's much chance of the movie spoiling your impression of the characters in the book. They have taken on a life of their own and it would take considerably more than a low budget movie to ruin your concept of them.
