One of the all time greats of the sci-fi genre. Paul Mantee stars as an astronaut who is stranded on Mars with only a Monkey and he has to find food, water and shelter.
The title is a strange one, but this is a great film that deals with a man fighting for survival on a strange world. The monkey helps him find food and water an he finds a strange rock that emits oxygen. He then must fight loneliness and he soon finds himself with company, and alien slave that escapes from a mining ship.
He names the slave Friday and he is played by Vic Lundin. Adam West is the astronaut who doesn't survive. I love this film and was glad to see Criterion add it to their esteemed collection. It deserves to be seen more an with this release hopefully it will be. Highly Recommended!!
