Best movie ever!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This time old Hollywood got it right. The Kim Novak Moll Flanders version played tongue-in-cheek with an attractive heroine and suggested content was entirely more appreciable. It was a female Tom Jones and well done as such. The rendering here starts off on the wrong foot with a repulsive sweat hog of a heroine not credible by any stretch as even attractive, much less alluring to gentlemen. Just a fleshy bar maid sort. Many a kitchen or parlor maid could be done up as well. But we have this flared nostril milch cow being offered as a temptress. Everything after that is a farce rendered in ribald distaste. Totally gag version. Pulp trash. Avoid.

It was wonderful,If you are into "English period drama films" with all the gloomy,grey skied ambiance in the backround, this is the movie to watch,based on it's literary counterpart,a novel by Daniel Defoe It's about a woman, and she must live day by day through a struggle, and does many unethical, immoral things to survive, She ends up being sent to prison for her crimes and awaiting a hanging , only to be forgiven and sent to America, In this movie, you will see many "realistic" sexual scenes, and because many of the characters she has these scenes with are very "unattractive people" old men, the like.....It makes the movie quite "realistic" and "believable" for a drama piece,and you can nearly "feel her pain and anguish" If I must say so myself, Even though the movie does at times have a few "happy" moments, they are always the sad moments that follows, hence the "fortunes and misfortunes" of poor Moll Flanders.I cried a few tears for Moll, and the movie gives it a "twist of fate" ending.I liked this version of this film better than any other.

You may find yourself watching this entire 4-hour movie all in one sitting like I did. Although it is a Mobil Masterpiece Theater presentation, it is also available on video. If you think you're in for some boring English drama, brace yourself, as it is very fast-paced, erotic, and often shockingly funny. Alex Kingston (now on "ER") delves into this role with a ferocity we rarely see on the screen. Although Moll does many bad things, we root for her the whole way. Diana Rigg is also a hoot as a mother-in-law that reveals herself to be something more. Daniel Defoe's condemnation of society as unforgiving of the monsters it creates is still as relevant today as when it was written. As long as you have an open mind about sex, nudity and immoral behavior onscreen, prepare to be fascinated.
