Les aventures amoureuses de Moll Flanders

A whole lot British character players take part in this adaption of Daniel Defoe's bawdy novel The Amorous Adventures Of Moll Flanders. The star is American Kim Novak in the title role.

Of course being married to Richard Johnson the leading man probably had a lot to do with her getting the part. That and Kim/s beauty.

Moll Flanders is a girl in early 17 century England raised in an foundling home and then assigned to work as a servant girl. Even as a teen she sets the men's hormones into overdrive,.

It's one bawdy situation after another for Kim until she's off to the new world with her true love. How she gets there is one outrageous siuation after another.

The list of supporting players is outstanding., My two favorites are Hugh Griffith as the jailer and Leo McKern as Richard Johnson's partner in crime.

One fine film from our friends across the pond.
