What can I say. This movie will never be known for its' refinement. Marginal acting (one- man shows are always painful for me to watch); monotonous musical score (three or four notes, tops); and crude special effects (probably state-of-the-art back then). We won't even go into the scientific accuracy. BUT... It will always be one of my favorites because I loved it as a child! War of the Worlds (1953), too. Every week, I'd search the TV guide to see when these movies would air on TV (usually very late at night). With Mars being closer than it has been in the last 60,000 years, I'll break out my LaserDisc copy and watch it again, along with War of the Worlds. Somehow I doubt my sophisticated kids will appreciate these movies as much as I did!
Maybe, some day, Robinson Crusoe on Mars will be available on DVD. Surely it is worthy enough to be immortalized in that medium, considering the volumes and volumes of far greater tripe that has been already.
