David Lean's Best & Most Misunderstood Film
A small Irish village. A dull old husband. A young restless wife. A handsome soldier. Majestic endless beaches. Burgeoning passion. An adulterous affair. Village gossip. Scandal. Religious guilt. Mob consciousness. The atrocities of civil war. David Lean. Robert Mitchum. Trevor Howard. Sarah Miles. Christopher Jones. John Mills. And the most cinematic sex scene in movie history. "Ryan's Daughter" (1970) has all this and more."Ryan's Daughter" was largely panned by the critics in 1970, a fact I find completely incomprehensible. "Ryan's Daughter" is a cinema masterpiece by the master of cinema masterpieces, David Lean, the great director who brought us "The Bridge on the River Kwai," "Lawrence of Arabia," and "Doctor Zhivago." Don't believe the critics of 1970. See this Masterpiece for yourself!
