Reviews for Moll Flanders
It takes an exceptionally talentless screenwriter-director to make such a foul, boring, worthless descreation of DeFoe's witty, insightful and entertaining novel, and Densham is that incompetent.
Salutes the hard-won bounties of hope, enduring friendship, and the quality of mercy.
