Review of The Molly Maguires (1970) by Jerry M — 08 Sep 2010
Good film but it had a number of problems.
The plot is safe to say.
There were though some historical inaccurasies, some characters that didn't quite fit in, and the ending was pretty abrupt.
What a way to feel empty.
The movie doesnt even star Harris as McPharlan for a majority of the time, it just slightly focuses on Sean as Kehoe.
I admire the film though for the lavish set pieces and the lighting and texture.
It's a pretty neat-looking period piece.
At times it switches from enjoyable to dark and ominous.
But the performances manage to save it from totally faltering.
It's worth watching but not worth hanging onto once you finish it.
