Made at a time where Cecil B. Demille was considered an auteur, 'Robinson Crusoe on Mars' represents the death throes of an age of sci-fi filmmaking where flamboyant studio artifice ruled over pragmatic real-life designs, merit of performance was measured according to camp theatricality and trenchant delivery of verbose soliloquies, and imperialistic, gung-ho American values of a type that would give an ultra-conservative Republican a wet-dream were openly - belligerently - embraced.
In other words, this film is the very incarnation of the dark ages of sci-fi cinema. Watch if you dare.
