"Robinson Crusoe"
1952
Directed by Luis Bunuel

Spanish surrealist Luis Bunuel's first English-language film, produced while the director was in self-imposed exile in Mexico, is an adaptation of Daniel Dafoe's novel about the infamous shipwreck victim. A fine rendition of the classic tale of survival, with Bunuel throwing in a few subtle jabs at religion and the complacency of society. This was also the first of Bunuel's films to be shot in color. Stars Dan O'Herlihy.  90 minutes.
