Customer Reviews of Moll Flanders (Box Set)
"DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!" I purchased this many years ago on vido tape. And just recently watched it again this New Year's Eve. Let me say, it has lost none of it's sparkle. Moll is as firery and adventurous as ever. This is one of the best productions ever to grace Masterpiece Theatre and that is saying something.( Pease see this version and NOT that HOLLYWOOD glossed over one.) It is not for the kiddies mind you, Moll leaves nearly no sin unturned but she is such a sweet funny girl deep down you just want her to win. <
>If you only know Alex Kingston from her work on ER well, you are in for a Big and may I say enjoyable surprise.
Great Literary Figure Brilliantly Brought to Life!
Fantastic adaption of Anthony Trollope's tale of one woman's struggles to find her place in this world.

>Please skip the American version - which in fact, has little to nothing in common with Trollope's story or this British adaptation.
Alex Kingston IS Moll Flanders.
Breathtakingly opulent and shockingly honest, this adaptation of Defoe's classic is not for the faint of heart. And this is the defining role of Alex Kingston's career, getting her hired on "ER" without even an audition. Carrying every scene, portraying the best and absolute worst in human character, and even breaking the fourth wall and narrating directly into the camera without once shattering the suspension of disbelief, Kingston simply awes.

>The humanity of Moll keeps it from becoming a hopeless parade of cynicism - but just barely. The spoiler-laden title of Defoe's novel gives away this downward spiral: "The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders Who Was Born in Newgate, and During a Life of Continu'd Variety for Threescore Years, Besides Her Childhood, Was Twelve Year a Whore, Five Times a Wife [Whereof Once To Her Own Brother], Twelve Year a Thief, Eight Year a Transported Felon In Virginia, at Last Grew Rich, Liv'd Honest, and Died a Penitent." My only complaint is that the movie stops short of the penitent part.

>Even though it was on broadcast television (PBS) during prime time, it is not for children. There is unabashed nudity and sex (including incest between siblings) and plenty of disturbing subject matter.
