Ryan's Daughter - Intro and Ending.

Absolutely brilliant film score though, truly a heartbreaker.

Anthony Hopkins would make a decent Father Collins, Colin Firth as Shunnessy perhaps, no just kidding, but serious its best left as it is, you'll never get the mood and atmosphere of a remake as good as Leans directing and filming.

apparently Sarah Miles is invlolved in the 'sequel' that's being touted...good or bad idea? Unsure myself. On one hand would love to know what became of Rosy & Charles...on the other, should we leave perfection alone?

Anyone who could even think of making a decent sequel to this movie is dead. Leave it alone, I say.

The industry does seem to be trawling around for remakes with Leonardo de Caprio as Major and Beyonce as her etc.

rosso - yeah. Bit like revisiting the house you were born in. Best left.
Certainly perfection. I lent the in-laws my dvd and never seen it since hence moping here.
During my formative years it was a girls film (they all fancied the Major), and we'd just be laddish and take mick out of it.
I only saw the whole thing on buying the recent re-release dvd.
wonderful

Is this true? If so I am staggered! Like you rightly suggest perfection should be left alone.

I like to think that it is actually a documentary and not a film with actors.
The opening scene of sunrise, up to 2:00 and the accompanying music just cannot be bettered.
The end theme (with longer version on amazon dvd) is just lovely.
The love scene is not cliched, and tender without being in any way gratuitous or graphic.
Dream like, fave film

The entire movie is hauntingly beautiful with perfect cast, from the boring Mitchum to the lustful Sarah Miles. The sceneries are so romantically involved they are a living part of the story and not just the background. The only nitpick is that the film is just too long to sit through.

Ezt a filmet Magyarországon még nem vetítették le! 1970-1990-2009 soha még! Én levelet írtam 1990-ben, amikor a ruszki megszállóknak ki kellett innen takarodni, hogy ezt a filmet végre vásárolják meg és fordítsák le magyar nyelvre is és adják le a TV-ben! Ha már moziban sem látni itt. És nem is válaszoltak a levelemre. Mondjátok el mindenkinek! Please!
