Product Description

Product description

MOLL'S SHOCKING REPUTATION SOON MAKES HER THE COUNTRY'S MOSTWANTED CRIMINAL. ONLY HER UNCANNY TALENT FOR DISGUISE KEEPS HER ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE HANGMAN. INEVITABLY, WHEN HER LUCK RUNS OUT, MOLL FACES THE GALLOWS & SHE DEVISES ONE LAST DESPERATEPLOY TO SAVE NOT ONLY HER NECK, BUT ALSO HER TRUE LOVE'S.

Amazon.com

This energetic, sardonic, and richly funny adaptation of Daniel Defoe's classic novel is completely unlike what you might expect from genteel Masterpiece Theatre. The heroine, Moll Flanders (Alex Kingston), after being born in prison, wends her way through the top and bottom of 18th-century English society, has five husbands (including a roguish highwayman who becomes the love of her life), many lovers (male and female), travels to America and back again, and in general discovers all that is cruel and sweet in life. Kingston tears into her role with gleeful amorality and delicious charm, often turning to the camera with a seductive smile to ask, "What would you do?" This British miniseries is brilliantly written, skillfully directed, and superbly acted all around (with particularly delightful performances by Diana Rigg and Daniel Craig)--in short, among the best of its kind; both a cunning examination of social morés and a hugely entertaining story. Not to be missed. --Bret Fetzer

Good story, dated production

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 20, 2007

Verified Purchase

My main complaint with this film is the annoying music that really dates the production as well as the production quality itself. For a movie that is only ten years old it looks like it was filmed in 1975. It is too bad because it really is entertaining. It is fun to watch a period film that is in no way stuffy, centered around a woman with modern sensibilities. This was a time when a woman who was on her own had very few avenues to explore, and the majority of those were not respectable. Moll has a fiery personality and does not settle for the safe roads. She's cut-throat and ruthless, but you will like her anyway, because she does it all with the utmost charm and a twinkle in her eye. She could have invented the field of public relations. There is a lot of nudity and sex in this but it doesn't seem risque since it is all done with a certain comical edge. In fact most of the film is done lightheartedly even though you are dealing with some touchy subjects. One last downfall -- It makes me sound extremely shallow, but I just don't see Alex Kingston as the beauty that Moll is supposed to be. Using her supposed stunning beauty to work her way through life, and manipulate nearly every man she meets is simply difficult to believe when you don't find the actress to be so beautiful. Other than that the story is very entertaining with all it's twists and turns. If you like it, you should also watch "Vanity Fair" with Natasha Little. It is another period film with a naughty anti-heroin, who you will love to hate. P.S. This Moll Flanders is ten times more fun than the Robin Wright/ Morgan Freeman version which really has very little in common with this production aside from centering around a like minded heroin in the same time period.

Kingston, Rigg and Craig Shine Supreme!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2009

Verified Purchase

The wickedest woman in London is the easiest to find, just call for Moll! This gorgeously filmed masterpiece theater film far exceeds the bounds of its small screen presentation. From a novel that set the standard for romance novels to come in its wake this tale is filled to overflowing with adventure, danger, heart rending romance all compounded by delicious plot twists and harrowing encounters.
Heading the cast is Alex Kingston as the sexy, ambitious Moll Flanders. She pulls us into the story with sly asides that endear, tease and at times challenge us with "What would you do?" Miss Kingston carries the film with grace and a steely resolve that is admirable in scope as well as intimate nuance. She is in short a magnificent actress and a treat to watch.

Diana Rigg as Mrs. Golightly gives us a thoroughly marvelous depiction of a hard-bitten rough colonial American woman who is as pragmatic as any pioneer in the New World. And like most of those who came out from England to Virginia she brings with her a secret that turns the plot and Moll completely around. It is great to see her in this film having a grand time in a fun role.

Daniel Craig is perfectly cast as James Seagrave the rouge 17th century bad boy supreme turned highwayman and the great tragic love of Moll Flanders. He has the kind of rough good looks with his crinkly wicked smile, sky blue laughing eyes and devil on the town attitude the part demands. He is the kind of guy designed by fate to be Satan's sexy trap for any unsuspecting innocent. His first appearance in the film as Moll arrives by coach to London sells his whole character persona in a flash. He pops his head into her coach and gives her a playfully wicked, promising how do you do smile and then is gone not to appear for another hour in the story. But Mr. Craig makes this a memorable screen entrance and in the doing puts anticipation for what will happen next on the razors edge. He does not disappoint in this early in his career performance and shows just why his talent and role choices have brought him to the top of his field today.

The whole film is a romp and a joy as it creates an entire world centuries past yet carries the ageless truth of what lies ahead in a young life is forever exciting, fresh and doomed to be repeated by each new generation.

I would rate it 5 if it had subtitles.

Liked the story. Sort of like a female Tom Jones, in some ways. I wish it had captions. The TV captions were not enabled on it, as well.

A re-release of an already great DVD

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2002

Verified Purchase

My 5 star rating applies to the "program" on this 2 DVD set, not the set. I have already wrote my positive review of this program on the no longer available one double sided disc copy, so I won't repeat myself. Go there if you wanna see my commentary (not to mention that Amazon sold it to me for borscht at the time I wrote it :-).) The only plus this 2 disc copy may have is that the credit crunches from my copy on the WGBH (Anchor Bay) label will be removed (opening credits on part 2 slightly crunched, and closing credits for both halves are back to back at end of side 2) and well the DVD rom novel, but that to me is no big deal. My copy (the fore mentioned 1 disc version) also includes something you don't find usually on pre-records (disc or tape) of Masterpiece Theater shows, Russell Baker's opening and closing commentaries. I even actually like the way they "merged" his closing of part one into his opening on part 2 at the beginning of side 2. So I don't know what (other than above mentioned) differences this new 2 single sided disc version will have, so I will just say to y'all, see my other review. It's a great show, much better than the theatrical release of the same year (1996), but is definitely not meant for the kiddies. Parental discretion advised. :-). LONG AWAITED UPDATE 2/26/06: I just got an up close an personal look at the box of this 2 disc copy. According to the box it's 190 minutes making it 30 minutes shorter than the single double sided disc that I bought here on the WGBH (Anchor Bay) label which is sadly now out of print. My advice, haggle one of the Marketplace clients offering the Anchor Bay copy. Having the whole novel to read on DVD may sound nice, but I'm not in a hurry (and besides I'll probably find it again elsewhere someday.:-))

Roxane

une actrice rend plus que vivante l'héroïne d'un grand roman

Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on August 13, 2013

Verified Purchase

Daniel Defoe a écrit des romans superbes, a fait des portraits de femmes (Roxana, Moll Flanders) extraordinaires écrits à la première personne, et quantité d'autres romans dont un "Journal of the Plague Year", mais il n'est
hélas connu du grand public que pour son ROBINSON CRUSOE. Il faut lire Moll Flanders (en anglais si possible) et ensuite voir le film dont la durée (plus de 3 heures, en 4 épisodes sur un seul DVD)
rend justice au roman. Ce film réalisé pour la BBC n'a pas reçu les hommages mérités : seuls 4 critiques en parlent sur IMDB, mais une de ces critiques, celle de CULTUREVULTURE, rend compte abondamment de l'enchantement et du roman et de son adaptation. Je pense que ce vide critique tient au fait que Moll Flanders est une inconnue en regard de Madame Bovary et d'Anna Karenine : personne ou
presque n'a lu ce roman. Il est au réalisateur ce que Barry lyndon de Thackeray a été pour Stanley Kubrick. On peut regretter que les personnages féminins aient effrayé Kubrick (il a renoncé à Becky Sharp/Mamoullian — Vanity Fair/Reese Witherspoon basé sur Thackeray également) qui s'est tourné vers Barry Lyndon. Or il avait là également l'ascention et la chute d'une héroïne mal
née (à la prison de Newgate). Je recommande vivement les deux; roman et film d'une modernité étonnante par l'écriture et le contenu (comment vivre et s'adapter, bien ou mal, à la société hiérarchisée, figée par essence). L'érudition n'est pas requise ici, mais des qualités de coeur, de l' intelligence et l'amour de la vie. Une introduction à l'oeuvre est donnée sur Youtube, si l'on cherche "Moll Flanders 2007".
Je serais ravie d'avoir un écho à mon plaidoyer …

DETERMINEDLY ONWARDS AS THE FATES BUFFET

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

The 1996 Andrew Davies adaptation of Daniel Defoe's 1722 novel.

For over three hours share here Moll Flanders' scandalous adventures. She was born in rat-infested Newgate Prison, in due course to return as its star attraction - "the wickedest woman in the world" a nice little earner for the jailer showing round visitors.

In between there have been five husbands and notorious escapades culminating in a life of crime - a priest reduced to a sweating nervous wreck on hearing her lengthy confession. What hope for her now, at Tyburn with a rope round her neck? Can, even at this late stage, major surprises be in store?

The aim? A rumbustious contrast with the refined Jane Austen serials so popular at the time. The result is great fun, surprisingly far less explicit than some viewers may have hoped. Alex Kingston as Moll is a delight, especially her asides to the camera. Prominent names involved include Diana Rigg and Daniel Craig, both making great impact.

Only one disc, but it contains four episodes of almost fifty minutes and an interesting bonus just short of half an hour.

Outrageous? Indeed. Plausible? Sometimes not. Entertaining? Most certainly.

Recommended.
