Description
RYAN'S DAUGHTER Lean's Beautiful Blockbuster Set in Ireland Robert Mitchum/Trevor Howard/Sarah Miles/John Mills Directed by David Lean (1970) "Often regarded as the masterful David Lean's "least great" film, this story of rural southwestern Ireland during the First World War is still an extremely beautiful exercise in film making. One of only two films in the last third of the twentieth century to be shot in 65 mm, a sort of cinematic precursor of today's high definition, Lean was on record in later years as saying this was the film he was both proudest of and also most frustrated by. Concentrating more on its stark but lush physical setting than its characters (sometimes focusing on setting to the detriment of its characters) Ryan's Daughter is a story about one Rosy Ryan, the pampered, pretty young daughter of a famous town publican, Tom Ryan, who marries a kindly but much older schoolmaster, Charles Shaughnessy, and soon comes to regret that she has. Bored with her limited wedded life, spoiled, always wishing for things she cannot have, the pretentious Rosy becomes infatuated with a melancholy young British military officer who has been sent to her desolate corner of Ireland after returning home from France wounded in the leg. This movie is famous for its scene filmed on a beach during an actual raging Atlantic gale, and even from the comfort of home to see multi-story waves break over and over amid furious winds makes you appreciate the commitment that went into making Ryan's Daughter what it was." -- Ellie Reasoner, www.amazon.com John Mills won Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars for his portrayal of the town idiot.
