I like learning about the lesser remembered actors like Enid Bennett. That info about Alan Hale Sr. was great. His son, of course, was The Skipper on Gilligan's Island. I can see the resemblance. There's a downloadable copy of Melies' Robinson Crusoe on the Internet Archive.

The massive castle set was designed by Lloyd Wright, son of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It featured a real concrete floor and a drawbridge constructed out of wood-covered steel. Due to the shear size and cost of the set, Fairbanks would later reuse portions of it in “The Thief of Bagdad” (1924)

A noted athlete and stuntman, Douglas Fairbanks Sr. insisted on doing all of his own stunts b/c he felt audiences would be able to tell if it wasn’t him. This led to the elaborate set to be constructed in a way that helped him achieve these feats

“Robin Hood” (1922) was the first ever film to receive what we now consider to be a standard huge Hollywood premiere night at Grauman’s Egyptian Theater w/ dozens of members of the press there, fans seeking autographs, a red carpet.. the works. The film would go on to make over $ 2.5mil in North America alone
