The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders
If you take this version of Moll Flanders and compare it to the other versions, the other ones are better. But if you take this film and place it amongst other movies (not Moll Flanders-related), this film is pretty decent.
It's not a drama, if that's what you're thinking. It's actually a bawdy comedy, and I have to disagree with other viewers. This film has sort of a Monty Python/Three Stooges thing going on here which actually makes the movie interesting and funny for everyone...even the kiddies! I have little brothers and they love Jemmy's sidekick in this!
Well-casted, well-acted...it's actually pretty good. There isn't really anything wrong with this that made me lower the star rating - I just find it's not the best movie in the world. But I still love it. Hehe.

The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders
The VHS tape arrived in good fashion and in very good time. Very pleased with the service. This is one VHS tape that I've been looking forward to watching. Ever since I saw the movie on the big screen, back in the 1960s, I just had to have this movie. I was simply carried away with the mesmerizng effects of Kim Novak in this movie. This is an excellent tale of one young lady's adventures in her late teens and early twenties. The film depicts England in the 1760s and the quest by this young lady as she moves through the various levels of English society. The humor and bawdy approach represents a period when studios did an exceptionally good job in telling a story. I am very pleased to finally add this VHS tape to my collection.

A Kim Novak Movie, for a change
Usually, whenever I've encountered Ms. Novak, she was part of somebody else's movie, "Vertigo" starring James Steward or "Pal Joey" starring Frank Sinatra. This time, she stands alone--and it's not very outstanding at all, I'm afraid.

Likes like a "Tom Jones" rip-off, and a very un-funny one at that. I had had great hopes for George Sanders, but even he can't bolster up this Tom Turkey.

What a shame, too, because the book "Moll Flanders" is so interesting. Well, I guess you can take THAT out of the library if you really have to.
