Film World Robinson Crusoe and Man Friday Reviews
New York critics judge Robinson Crusoe on Mars style twists and the Peter O'Toole Richard Roundtree pairing in Man Friday as lacking depth. From Beyond the Grave offers four tales with a strong British cast but fails to match Tales from the Crypt. Virility looks at male pride through a Sicilian father and a British educated son in a comic twist.
