Review of Ryan's Daughter (1970) by Joel A — 19 Jan 2017
A grossly underrated Epic set on the Coast of Ireland during the late 1910's. Filled with terrific scope & some of the most stunning cinematography capturing shots that stay in your mind long after the film.
The story of Rosie Ryan a beautiful & headstrong Irish Girl who falls in love with straight & somewhat dull school teacher played by the unlikely Robert Mitchum. However a mysterious British Soldier appear & sparks fly & begins an illicit affair.
Although running around 3 hours & 20 mins the film tells the story so simply & effectively you loose track of its length. It was sad to hear the critics rubbished the film but that thankfully didn't effect Box Office.
