Mr. Robinson Crusoe (1932) is a lively adventure‑comedy starring Hollywood legend Douglas Fairbanks, directed by A. Edward Sutherland. Filmed on location in the South Seas, the movie blends humor, romance, and Fairbanks’ trademark athletic charm.
The story follows a wealthy playboy who bets he can survive alone on a deserted island using only his wits and resourcefulness. What begins as a playful challenge soon becomes a whirlwind of improvised shelter‑building, jungle exploration, and unexpected encounters — including a mysterious island woman who changes the course of his adventure. With its tropical scenery and lighthearted tone, Mr. Robinson Crusoe remains a fun and energetic entry in early 1930s escapist cinema.

00:00:30The End
00:01:08The End
00:01:42For centuries, the south seas have been remote, rich in romance and mystery.
00:01:48It has always been a magnet to lure the scholar, the sportsman, and the adventurer.
00:02:16Come on, Rudy.
00:02:17Set.
00:02:17Set.
00:02:18Eight.
00:02:19Four.
00:02:20Three.
00:02:21Two.
00:02:23You're offside.
00:02:24Now, wait a minute.
00:02:25Now, you're offside.
00:02:25Come on.
00:02:25Come on.
00:02:26Set.
00:02:29Eight.
00:02:30Four.
00:02:30Two.
00:02:30Check.
00:02:33Attaboy.
00:02:34There are scores of islands such as these.
00:02:38Possibly uninhabited since the beginning of time.
00:02:41You mean to say nobody lives on a beautiful island like that?
00:02:43Not at all.
00:02:44Hold on.
00:02:50You know, this may sound crazy, but I've got a notion.
00:02:52If you've got a notion ten to one, it's crazy, all right.
00:02:54You know, I'd like to get off on an island like that with nothing but a toothbrush.
00:02:58Well, the love of people, we're on our way to shoot tigers in Sumatra.
00:03:01Now, what's the big idea?
00:03:02See, I don't have to kill to get a thrill.
00:03:04I'd like to get off on an island like this and fight the battle of nature against man
00:03:07with my bare hands.
00:03:10Hurrah.
00:03:12Well, it is on an island just like this that Robinson Crusoe lives.
00:03:16That's exactly what I mean.
00:03:17Ah, Robinson Crusoe was a myth.
00:03:18Well, let's make him a reality.
00:03:20You?
00:03:20Well, you've been living behind that boy shirt so many years, you'd be crying mama the
00:03:24first day.
00:03:24Don't you believe it?
00:03:25You're not in your eyes, my mother.
00:03:26No, if I were, I wouldn't be thinking a thing like this.
00:03:29I tell you what you fellows do.
00:03:30Go on to Sumatra and get your tiger.
00:03:31When you get back, you'll find me living in a penthouse with hot and cold running water
00:03:35and groceries delivered twice a day.
00:03:37Not a chance.
00:03:38There are cannibals on these islands.
00:03:40When we got back, we'd find you tied to a stake and be the remnants of a shore dinner.
00:03:45Bet you wouldn't.
00:03:45Bet you would.
00:03:46I'll bet you a million dollars.
00:03:48Make it a thousand in real money and I'll bet you.
00:03:50You're on.
00:03:51Roche!
00:03:52I'll pack his toothbrush.
00:03:53He's leaving.
00:03:54Now, wait a minute.
00:03:54Now, this is a bet.
00:03:56I'll bet you when you get back, I'll be living the life of Riley.
00:03:59And you bet that I'll be tied to a stake.
00:04:01Is that right?
00:04:02That's right.
00:04:03Good.
00:04:03Ha-ha!
00:04:04Swatches for factories and ties for fools.
00:04:08I'm off.
00:04:14I'm off.
00:04:15Oops!
00:04:17Where shall we send your mail?
00:04:20Park Avenue and 52nd Street.
00:04:23Ha-ha!
00:04:23Oops!
00:04:28Hey!
00:04:29How about that dog?
00:04:31Well, Robinson Crusoe will have the dog.
00:04:33Here.
00:04:33You're going to have the toothbrush.
00:04:35I'll roll my own.
00:04:37Come on, Rudy.
00:04:40He'll win that bet or die in the attempt.
00:04:42You think so?
00:04:44I've got something up my sleeve.
00:04:46Rudy, now, you'll be a good sport to go through with this thing.
00:04:50I'll take you to a cat farm next summer.
00:04:53Attaboy.
00:04:53You picked a nut for a master.
00:04:55All right.
00:04:56Ha-ha!
00:05:05Well, Rudy, we're certainly in for it now.
00:05:09Cut off in the world for many, many months.
00:05:15I suppose the first thing to do is to look for water.
00:05:21Oh, drinking water.
00:05:24Aqua pura.
00:05:25Come on.
00:05:26Let's go.
00:05:39Ah!
00:05:40Rain water.
00:05:42That's not bad.
00:05:44Try it.
00:05:46Here.
00:05:46Taste it.
00:05:47It's a little brackish, but not bad at all.
00:05:50Go on.
00:05:50Try it.
00:05:52Now, wait a minute.
00:05:53I'll give you one more chance.
00:06:00Coconuts.
00:06:02Fresh water from coconuts.
00:06:05No wonder.
00:06:06Honey, he's Get Al's.
00:06:08I've got noки.
00:06:16Jack Warner.
00:06:16Oh, my.
00:06:28Yes, sir.
00:06:30Can be on me.
00:06:33I'll give you two counts.
00:06:41You must have an ancestor not very far removed if you put his teeth into a situation like this and
00:06:47swallowed it one go.
00:07:18Ah, right there.
00:07:23Listen, if you're on a high hat, you and I are going to get into difficulty.
00:07:28You know, I'm a, I'm a darn sight more adaptable than you are.
00:07:49Ah, ha. Pretty smart Rooney. Ha. Now you're taking after your great grandfather.
00:07:56Well Rooney, Rooney here is looking at you.
00:08:11Ah, ha. Now how about something to eat?
00:08:22Ha, ha, ha. I may finish by eating grand, but I certainly am not going to start that way. Ha.
00:08:27Ah, van camp backyard. Coconuts. Bananas. Breadfruit. Pineapples.
00:08:43I'm all set. Now what about you? I'm afraid you've got to go on a diet.
00:08:48Now for a place to live.
00:09:03What's going on?
00:09:04Ha, ha, ha.
00:09:24Bum!
00:09:25Bum!
00:09:26Bum!
00:09:26Bum!
00:09:27Here is Park Avenue, and here is 52nd Street.
00:09:31Here it is all in a nutshell.
00:09:37That, my boy, is called a survey.
00:09:38The next thing is an engineering job.
00:09:46Now I'm going to show you a little trick.
00:09:48This happened 10, 15, or 200 thousand years ago.
00:09:51The first thing that man did when he stood on his hind legs
00:09:54was to throw his plane into a new position.
00:10:01The nail got short, his teeth got dull,
00:10:02and he made himself his first one.
00:10:20This is burrow bark, Rooney.
00:10:23Natives of these islands make rope out of this
00:10:25and various other things.
00:10:47Well, I've been a boy scout,
00:10:49and I've read Dan Beard's handy boat.
00:10:55I've been a boy scout,
00:11:07and I've been a boy scout,
00:11:08This is the first labor-saving device known to man.
00:11:20Man found it useful in a hundred ways.
00:11:24A hundred ways to use it.
00:11:34No nails, no screws, no spikes, nothing to deceive you.
00:11:48Simple twist to wrist and wrist don't change-o.
00:11:52You have it.
00:11:53Eureka!
00:12:04Ah!
00:12:07Ah!
00:12:16This is going to be a cinch.
00:12:18Isn't nature wonderful?
00:12:20Isn't nature kind?
00:12:35I beg your pardon, I'm wrong again.
00:12:38Come on, Rooney.
00:12:39We'll build a house in spite of our unfriendly neighbors.
00:12:54Now, here is an island that is totally different, both geographically and in vegetation, from our Robinson Crusoe Island.
00:13:05Oh, oh, look who's here.
00:13:08Oh, little drama going on on this island.
00:13:12Little girl, evidently, does not want to take her back.
00:13:16Mama Spank.
00:13:18Why, Jo, she's a cute little trick.
00:13:22Wait a minute.
00:13:23You know what this is?
00:13:25It's a betrothal ceremony.
00:13:26Betrothal?
00:13:27Yes.
00:13:28The girl presents her coat to the man she is supposed to marry.
00:13:33He accepts it as a token of the engagement.
00:13:36Look at the face of the guy she's going to marry.
00:13:39Oh, wonder who the grouchy old dame is.
00:13:42Probably the girl's mother.
00:13:44Well, she's a good match for the son-in-law.
00:13:47All right, all right, all right.
00:13:49Here.
00:13:50What happens after the betrothal?
00:13:52Well, after several months, or as the natives say, after the fourth moon, they have the wedding.
00:13:57The girl is bathed by her bridesmaids, dressed, garlanded, and taken before the groom-to-be.
00:14:04Whereupon to complete the ceremony, he ups and knocks out her front teeth.
00:14:08Oh, no kidding?
00:14:10Actual fact.
00:14:10Oh, well, we do the same thing.
00:14:13Only we usually wait until after the ceremony.
00:14:16Have a good way!
00:14:46Ha, ha, ha, yes!
