    • Trivia
      The three lead actors all died in 2005.
    • Goofs
      When Robinson looks at a neighboring island for the first time through his telescope, the scene shown as though looking through the telescope is just a picture of the island - nothing in it moves including the waves.
    • Quotes

      Robinson Crusoe: If anyone in England met such an odd creature as I was in my 18th year of solitude, it must either have frightened them or caused a great deal of laughter.

    • Alternate versions
      According to Dan O'Herlihy, he would perform each scene twice, once in English and then once in Spanish, for the English-language and Spanish-language versions, although a Spanish-speaking actor was used later to dub O'Herlihy's voice in the Spanish-language version anyway.

    The story of the hero of Defoe, Robinson Crusoe

    This is an excellent film, not only in its acting, but also in color and photography. I always remember it for the best acting of Viernes (Friday) and also Crusoe. The film follows well the plot given by Dafoe in his wonderful book. If somebody never read the book, my advice is to see this excellent film.
