    Pretty poor and a waste of Peter O' Toole.

    This half-baked version of the brilliant novel "Robinson Crusoe," is ruined by shoddy production values, poor plotting and woeful dialogue. Peter O' Toole - one of the greatest actors of his generation - should have been offered a better film than "Man Friday." Richard Roundtree (a flash in the pan) was making poor film after poor film. There may be some good photography but that can only compensate for so much.

    Recalled hearing of it in 1975 but saw it for the first time in July 2020

    Absent the Pandemic, this turns into a brilliant parody of post-George Floyd America and Anarcho-Capitalism. Meant to see it at age 32 and accidentally found it on YouTube, age 82. Yea, O'Toole's slightly hammy but not gratingly. I knew of Richard Roundtree only as the Blaxpolitation-era SHAFT.

    Crusoe explaining money and wages to Friday might have been lifted from a Democratic Socialists of America introduction to Karl Marx's theory of indentured labor. The Hang Glider scene doesn't work and didn't then but otherwise MAN FRIDAY has aged itself into front page 2020 relevance.

    THURSDAY'S CHILD COMMENTS ABOUT FRIDAY'S CHIDING COMMENTARY

    I have not seen this in a long while, and it has not been released on VHS or DVD, but I remember it as in intelligent spoof of Robinson Crusoe. It is the same old story we all know, but it is told from the perspective of Friday, who, if I recall correctly, narrates the tale like a hip soul brother from the 1970's replete with a Jamaican accent.

    "Broter, lemme tell ya, iss da story o dis dumb wite mon, who doan know his ahs from a coconut grove."

    That's not exactly what he said, but it is the gist of how things are told. Friday, Richard Roundtree, who had just finished three movies and one television series as Shaft, is a wealth of oneupsmanship over the not too bright Crusoe, played superbly by Peter O'Toole.

    This is a must watch and a keeper. Write ABC Entertainment. Tell them to get it out on DVD. I think that one of the problems with this film is that AVCO Embassy Pictures, which produced it with ABC, went out of business years ago.

    A choice film.

    more to it than just an adventure story

    I discovered the film while switching through the channels and I had to keep watching it to the end because I was fascinated. First of all I was fascinated because I had no clue that the original story by Defoe is so full of racism. Then I noticed that this version is told from Friday's point of view which turns it into a whole different thing.

    The whole situation and Crusoe's behaviour now seems really absurd: The way he tries to rebuild his kind of England on a small island. He has a need to reproduce things which are completely unnecessary and useless in this surrounding. He also sticks to his old rules and schemes and is not able to adapt new attitudes to survive and to get by.

    First of all Crusoe is not willing to see Friday as a human being who has the same rights and the same possibilities as he has. He also believes that he himself might have more advantages threatening Friday and to let Friday work for him. Or maybe it is his deep belief that this is the only way to be and that he is in fact really fair and being nice to him.

    Crusoe is not able to see that there is no need to put his negative attitudes on Friday, his fear of God (he seems to struggle with God because he struggles with himself), his shame and the need to punish. He sees shame anywhere and he does not listen to Friday who can see clearly that there is no need for shame.

    Peter O'Toole is just perfect for portraying that ignorant Englishman who can be really nasty but at the same time the viewer feels sorry for him because he is trapped and torn inside.

    Richard Roundtree is great as Friday, being very natural and being relaxed and concentrated at the same time. He is made to be the more attractive one in that team. The film was done four years after his success with "Shaft" and you can find typical blaxploitation elements in it.

    Like other IMDb users said before: The songs are a bit disturbing but they cannot ruin a good film.

    The plot is a very good starting point for a philosophical discussion on how people can live together and what might be a good basis for an intact society.

    Man Overboard!

    This is one of those films with an intriguing concept that is ruined by poor execution. "Man Friday" is a revisionist take on the classic novel "Robinson Crusoe" told from the point of view of the castaway Englishman Crusoe's (Peter O'Toole) native companion/servant Friday (Richard Roundtree). Adapted from a stage play, this is basically a two-hander carried by O'Toole and Roundtree's performances. The duo's evolving relationship is obviously a metaphor for racism, slavery, colonialism, and capitalism. That part of the film works well, with Crusoe's more "civilized" Christian and English ways revealed as irrational and unnatural. The problem is that the filmmakers add all sorts of other nonsense, perhaps to broaden the film's appeal. Friday often breaks into his "native" songs, but he sings the lyrics in English and the music sounds too contemporary. There is a comical talking parrot. Worst of all is a sequence where Crusoe and Friday try to escape from the island by inventing all sorts of silly flying machines, with accompanying sound effects borrowed from an old "Roadrunner" cartoon. There are also some plotting problems. Crusoe is not properly introduced and Friday goes from being terrified of Crusoe to amiably calling him "master" way too quickly. Since director Jack Gold can't decide if this is a serious drama or a musical-comedy-adventure, it doesn't succeed as either.

    4 out of 10.

      Robinson Crusoe: When we first met you were nothing but a savage, but I have educated you.

      Friday: When I first met you, you were a killer possessed by demons and I taught you how to sing and dance. Not very well, but I taught you that much at least. And your head was full of nothing but your own power, your own guilt, and the fear of a cruel god. But perhaps I was a very bad teacher, because your head is still full of thoughts of power and guilt and fear.
