A shipwrecked sailor builds a new life on a
tropical island.
This adaptation of Daniel Defoe's classic novel was a
familiar sight on children's television in the
1960's, being
repeated a number of times after its 1965 debut. Made in
France and dubbed into English, it told Crusoe's story
in full, even exploring his pre-shipwreck life through
flashbacks which featured his childhood, his apprentice-ship as a lawyer, his running away to sea and his earlier
maritime adventures. Now stranded on the island, he
set about building himself a new existence. The 13-part
series was filmed in the Canary Islands.
