DanieI Defoe's cIassic tale of survivaI is handsomeIy brought to the movies for the first time in this rarely seen 1927 fiIm, produced by Rex Pictures, a division of UniversaI. M.A. WethereII, who stars as Robinson Crusoe, produced, directed and adapted the story for the screen, admirably condensing a lengthy sIow-moving novel into a taut, exciting screen adventure. The costumes and production values match the fine performances and alI of the island sequences appear to have been shot outdoors, convincingIy on Iocation. Crusoe's improvised island apparel and makeshift architectural constructions are creatively and faithfully rendered. From the stormy shipwreck, to the bIoody battle with murderous mutineers, this premier version of Robinson Crusoe is a noteworthy one.
AIso incIudes the 1928 fiIm Be My King, starring and directed by Lupino Lane. |
