I will admit, I saw this movie before I read the book. But what a good movie it was! It's not so much a movie as it is a miniseries as it took a while to watch, but it is worth it, since miniseries are often able to put in more of the book than a movie whose time must be restricted.
The acting, props, costumes, and background were all solid, and I have no complaint. It was especially fun to see Moll stare right into the camera. For me, that added some spice and fun to watch, especially when she looked at you while she was doing something naughty. Overall, I feel that this movie was ... Read More

Entertaining and fun with the spice of life. Moll Flanders adventures are captured with wonderful camera work, excellent casting and non-stop adventure. A great addition to "Tipping The Velvet" and "Finger Smith".
Rating: - Good story, dated production
My main complaint with this film is the annoying music that really dates the production as well as the production quality itself. For a movie that is only ten years old it looks like it was filmed in 1975. It is too bad because it really is entertaining.

She's cut-throat and ruthless, but you ... Read More
Rating: - WONDERFUL PIECE OF HISTORY
The film is a wonderous look at years before how things were and the poor unfortunate Moll is having a very difficult time. A pleasure to watch and so well put together, even with the current Mr James Bond featured!!!
Rating: - WOW!
I'll go into this review assuming you know the story of Moll Flanders, all right? That saves me time for my soap boxing climbing which is coming up in a moment. Moll Flanders is among my favorite books of all. (If you don't believe me, check out my review of it.) Purists might object that this 1996 film version strays a bit from the original, but as is the case in some other rare instances (the 1991 motion picture version of The Last of the Mohicans, for instance) it actually enhances the tale in so doing therefore the sacrifice of authenticity is more or less worth it. What is shocking about this ... Read More
