A rare Bunuel made in English. It is a film where Bunuel respects Christianity, probably due to deference to Daniel Defoe. Two important facets: the female cat breeds without a male in sight. and Crusoe hears his dead dog, Rex, bark as he departs from the island. Orson Welles was originally cast as Crusoe but Bunuel found him to be too fat. Herlihy was chosen as he had played with Welles in Welles' "Macbeth."
