Les Naufragés de l'île de la Tortue (1976)
Film Synopsis
Jean-Arthur Bonaventure is bored of his humdrum job as a modest employee at a travel agency in Paris. With his friend Joël Dupoirier he hits on a revolutionary project that will allow him to break out of his monotonous routine and live up to his name. What he proposes is a special kind of cruise whereby, for the modest sum of three thousand francs, his clients can live on a desert island like Robinson Crusoe. Jean-Arthur's bosses are in favour of the scheme, but there is just one problem: where in the world can a desert island be found in this day and age? Accompanied by his friend Joël, Jean-Arthur sets out to answer this question in the Caribbean...© James Travers
