Robinson Crusoe on Mars

[ER]

Why isn't this a classic?

[RCMerchant]

Because it's dull.

Shown a lot on Saturday or Sunday afternoon TV in the '60s and '70s, it was always an eye-roll when it was on again. 
PAUL MANTEE's claim to leading man status.  All these years later, I like that movie quite a bit, but I agree.  It's dull.

^ I like how the stars in the background are actually shaped like cartoon stars!  

The alien flying machines are just slightly modified old WAR OF THE WORLDS space ships.

This seemed to be on TV about 3 or 4 times a year when I was a kid (usually Saturday afternoons). I watched it many times but haven't seen it in decades. Paul Mantee later showed up as a guest star on Seinfeld.

I said the same thing; the movie was on TV a lot. 

PAUL MANTEE probably did a fair amount of TV work - I did see him on a rerun of something not too long ago.

It reminds me of Gilligans's Island in space. Friday has a haircut like he's one of the Mosquitos!
And Gilligan has a monkey!

The DVD/ Blu Ray is better since in the extras you get an illustrated story of how it was originally suppose to look like.
