CASTAWAY!! I cant believe its on youtube! I used to stay up late when i was a kid to watch this movie, i loved it!! I havent seen this in about 23 years! Thank You for uploading this :)
I am the guy in the light Blue Seersucker jacket at 12 min 18 sec till when my friend Amanda walks in. I did talk and had a line with the Receptionist, but was cut!
We filmed this in London at Bayswater in the Grand Royale London Hyde Park
@mcqueen5 Did you have a chat with Reed? What was your impression of him if anything? I know that he was in bad shape in the Seventies, director Sergio Sollima (Revolver 1973) said that Reed was fine to work with till the early afternoon, then it became increasingly difficult because of his alcoholism. Some workers from the set wanted to kick Ollie's ass at the end but Sollima protected him but telling them a false date for the last shooting day. I wonder how he was during Castaway.
Terrific movie but people here babble about Donohoe's tits or if this version includes a bit of naked flesh more or not.
Goddammit this is one of Oliver Reed's finest performances, he carries the rather thin script and makes this movie thoroughly watchable. For the ones interested in the story I recommend to read both L.Irvines book "Castaway" and G. Kingsland's "The Islander". Kingslands account seems more truthful while Irvines version was written with the audience and film rights in mind imo.
@TheWalkabout23 Not so... many scenes have been left out so they could show it in various markets... even a few very explicit sex scenes during the first 1/4 of the film while they are still in England. I've seen the true uncut version twice & this isn't even close.
This movie is based upon a true story..the lady..who spent her year with that gentleman on that island.She appeared on Mr.Merv Griffin's nationallt syndicated talk/variety tv show recalling her experiences on that island.
i would love to do what they did in the film, stay on a tropical deserted island

Some people thought that Amanda Donohoe would be the next Helen Mirren. It didn't work out.

This film has philosophical issues. Also, Amanda has a beautifully-shaped body.
