Movie

Mr. Robinson

1976 · 107 min

A breezy, silly island romp where a fussy city man flounders into an unlikely romance, played for gentle laughs rather than peril.

Directed by: Sergio Corbucci
Genres: Adventure, Comedy
Starring: Paolo Villaggio, Zeudi Araya, Anna Nogara

Overview: A shipwreck strands a modern Italian businessman on a desert island. Like Robinson Crusoe he must find a way to return to civilization; unlike him--he's a 20th-century man, a totally different case.
