The Castaways of Turtle Island

The Castaways of Turtle Island (French: Les Naufragés de l'Île de la Tortue) is a 1976 French adventure-comedy film directed by Jacques Rozier.

The film revolves around travel agents who propose to their clients a new idea: an adventure-like life on a desert island at a very low budget.

Production was hindered by financial difficulties, only overcome thanks to Pierre Richard's personal efforts.

The film was shot in Guadeloupe and in the Dominican Republic.
