David Lean's Ryan's Daughter
This is a movie that has everything, romance, drama, suspense, betrayal, tragedy, beauty and a wonderful story which incorporates it all. Filmed in magnificently beautiful Ireland by the renown David Lean. David Lean is the best cinematographer to have ever lived. He makes every frame come alive. What Van Gogh did with paint he does with film. Every frame is filled with the nuances that will capture an artist's attention. The way he uses sound and landscape to capture your full attention entertains both your eye and your soul. The movie is truly a masterpiece. I saw it the first time in 1971 in Hollywood in Cimemascope with a surround screen, and I was so impressed by it then. Just like the other films David Lean filmed Dr Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia and Bridge on the River Kwai, it is just as good now as it was then. Simply Amazing.
