Castaway is written as one word on this tape. My mind went straight to Tom Hanks and Wilson, but that movie is called Cast Away. There is also a Nicolas Roeg film called Castaway, about two people who choose to spend a year on an island together. That’s a fairly large difference for one missing space to carry.

Of course, somebody might just have written the Hanks title the way they remembered it. I haven’t watched the tape yet, and the label isn’t going to settle this by itself.
