An opportunity with a soldier persuaded Alan Hill Junior that the island of Gilijan was successful

It may be a common knowledge among the TV historians that the comic play by Sherwood Schwartz in 1964, “Gilijan Island” was not liked by critics when it appeared for the first time, but it was a great success with the fans. Critics said that the show was thin, unrealistic and museum, and Schwartz is likely to agree. In fact, dissatisfaction may be the main cause of its success. Over the years, all the members of the seven major actors’ team on the “Gilijan Island” were martyred in the tone of the feather weight in the exhibition as a necessary comfort for the fans who were flooded with turbulent news about the outside world. Certainly, it did not help that “Gilijan Island” was very friendly to children, as it is not characterized by any serious conflicts, gender, violence, nor great topics.

In 2025, “Gilijan Island” is not only acceptable as common, but it has become a cultural institution. Her pictures, music and characters are almost the original model to become Jungian. Geligan (Bob Denver) is the copy of this nation from Commedia del’Arte. Some have said they are Modern repetitions of the seven deadly sins. Even in the sixties of the last century, the actors knew that the show was common, but it took a long time to know only that how Popular was.

In the case of Alan Hill, the son, who played the chief of Al -Marah/Al -Kantan on “Gilijan Island”, it took a meeting with a soldier abroad to link the number of people who were watching him. In an interview in 1979 with Sun Biloxi (As specified by metvHill told the story of how he was visiting Beirut, Lebanon, and how an armed young man got to know him because he was getting out of his plane. If a soldier in Beirut knew who he is, his image, Hill that is calculated, has reached a large extent all over the world.

Hill, after the end of the “Gilijan Island” in 1967, began to appear live for many fans in the world. The exhibition also apparently entered a state of permanent participation, as it was restarted daily for decades. Hill was, in this way, one of the great celebrities. The travel was something that Hill used to, as it was too Coast Guard officer During World War II, but he had to get used to living in a world where his face was on TV somewhere in the world at almost any specific moment. He only knew the extent of the following exchange:

“In Beirut, I was trying to get out of a plane, and a young soldier looked at me with a machine gun. He put the gun on the ladder, and he looked again and broke a big smile and said,” Please, does not come to the beach. ”

Hill also said that he was half a world away from Beirut, and was still recognized by the locals. “Gilijan Island” was on TV in Lebanon and Thailand. Hill also remembers:

“I went to Thailand. I was at the airport and heard” hey, Skbar! “I turned and there was a young Thai boy with a group of young girls, all of whom waving and saying,” Hello, a leader! “

Hill, it is worth noting, I love playing the leader. The warmth of the fans was not bothered, and, through all the novels, was friendly during all the fans ’meetings. Moments were like interviewing a soldier in Lebanon or a group of children in Thailand, which only strengthened his passion.
