Leave your thoughts about The Rising of the Moon.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's well-produced and well-acted, but never moving and a wee bit too stagy. |
| User ReviewAllan CJohn Ford is my favorite American director and although this isn't one of his greatest films, it's one of Ford's smaller film that he clearly made for himself. Ford made Hollywood studios a ton of money, so they would often grant him free reign to make smaller personal projects like this one or "The Sun Shines Bright," which weren't going to break any box office records, but allowed Ford to tell the stories he liked. In this case, Ford is mining his Irish heritage and tells three different stories of the Emerald Isle in this anthology film. Tyrone Power introduces each segment (he is to this film what the Crypt Keeper is to Tales from the Crypt). Frank S. Nugent, who also wrote "The Quiet Man," "The Searchers," "Fort Apache" and many of Ford's best films wrote this film. Even if it's not one of Ford's masterpieces, it's a beautifully shot and elegantly told simple stores, that add up to essential viewing for film buffs and fans of Ford. |
| User ReviewZoran SIt's basically three short films adapted from short stories and plays. I was indifferent to the first one, but the last two are fantastic. The last story in particular strongly shows Ford's great visual sensibility. |
