Desperate For the DVD!!
This is such a powerful film and visually stunning. When I listen to the soundtrack from the film, it makes my hair stand on end. Why oh why, is it not available on DVD? I have rented the video occasionally through the years but I desperately wish to add "Ryan's Daughter" to my film library. At $80.00(US) the video is extremely expensive and won't be the same quality as a DVD. Sarah Miles is fascinating in the film and John Mills is amazing, even Robert Mitchum, never a favourite of mine, was really thought-provoking. All this emotion, and that's before you even get to the turmoil and violence of the political background this story is set against. Such an age-old story, beautifully told and showing the wild and dramatic beauty of the west coast of Ireland. And of course the wonderful soundtrack by Marice Jarre.
