This one has an excessive runtime, approx two hours , and being some tiring version, freely based on the popular novel by Daniel Defoe . It deals with a Brit who washes at an unknown island , he is called Robinson Crusoe : Peter O'Toole, and he is stranded on the deserted location after a wreckship . Then there appears some natives : Richard Roundtree , among others . Later on , Robinson forces the native from a neighboring island to be his assistant . Through his intelligence and willness the enslaved native regains his freedom conceded by Robinson . This time Friday instead of being taught by Robinson contrives by patience and craft to reverse the situation so that Crusoe learns a basic way of life from him , each assimilating the best of one another's culture .
This humorous as well as musical rendition charts the often-cruel treatment the native receives as his captor attempts to civilize him . A charming and attractive version that relies heavily on the relationship between Robinson and Friday , adding some musical interludes . A sometimes confusing script and excessive violent scenes with shots in cold blood as well as guts detract from this message-laden effort . This special retelling plays a novel variation on Defoe's vintage, including sympathetic situations , particularly , a flying day , and another sporting day are often fun .Duo starring , Peter O'Toole , Richard Roundtree , give appealing interpretations . The motion picture was regular but professionally directed by Jack Gold . He was a good British craftsman who made several movies as cinema as TV , such as : Catholics, Roboman, The Naked Civil Servant, The Tenth Man , Praying Mantis , The Return of the Native , The Rose and the Jackal , Murrow , Goodnight Mr Tom , Into the Blue and his greatest hits were : The Medusa Touch , Escape from Sobibor and Little Lord Fauntleroy .
