Unlike most of the reviewers here, this version of The Blue Lagoon is one I just watched on YouTube for the first time ever. I knew it was on that site for years but I didn't decide to watch it until just now, having previously seen the Brooke Shields-Christopher Atkins from 1980 version some 37 years ago-when I was 13-when it was on a pay channel called Showcase. Nice to see an 18-year-old Jean Simmons here with her stunning beauty and nice figure complimenting her skimpy clothing she wore throughout. The addition of a couple of thieves before the end made this a little more exciting. The Shields version had some funny scenes concerning preferences in certain kinds of people one wants to socialize with but this one seems a little more serious about what to do when going back to civilization. So if I had to choose which version I'd prefer, I'd have to watch the other one again to make comparisons. Still, I rather enjoyed this version of The Blue Lagoon, so, yes, that's a recommendation.
