Last night on TV I watched the Tom Hanks film "Cast Away". An underrated film, very possibly, in which Hanks' character spends four years marooned on a desert island after a plane crashes into the sea. Looking in "imdb" for some information about the actors, I saw a "trivia" note saying that some of the scenes in which he builds and escapes on an improvised raft were a form of tribute to similar scenes in "Many Happy Returns". Must say this didn't occur to me and it's hard to see any specific inspiration, but for what it's worth...

It sounds like nonsense.
