    This was SUCH a good film. But, should you ever get the chance, the Masterpiece Theatre version is much better.

    well acted but slow and uninteresting.

    It is lucky we are not born in the 1700's. Poor Moll goes through a lot.

    Screen-play problems, lighting and sound issues - but good performances by Morgan Freeman, Robin Penn Wright - and memorable performance as well by Stockard Channing in a supporting role I couldn't see her in until I watched this - she really was great.
