In “Signor Robinson” it is above all simple: a light plot “a la Defoe in a modern way”, magnificent filming of exotic places, a wonderful interpretation by Paolo Villaggio.
The Milanese fashion guru Roberto Minghelli embarks with his wife on a cruise. One morning he wakes up in a now-sunken ship but is able to escape to an island, where he finds an abandoned hut which had a famous owner, Robinson Crusoe. Although the city slicker seems to be completely unsuitable for survival on a deserted island, Roberto adapts over time to his location and even leads a relatively happy life. But then he discovers that he is not alone on the island: a pretty young native, whom he calls Friday, joins him.
This is a very funny parody of Robinson Crusoe, in which modern Robinson Crusoe has to get used to living on an island without the trappings of modern life and everything gets funnier when the beautiful woman appears and awakens Roberto’s desires.
