Les aventures amoureuses de Moll Flanders

A desperate attempt to cash in on the wholly unexpected success of 'Tom Jones' that attempts to do for Defoe what the earlier film had done for Fielding, with a fashionably prolix title, a starry cast in fancy dress (including Hugh Griffith from the original), a noisy and overemphatic score by John Addison to keep reminding us how hilarious this all is, flashy direction from Terence Young between Bond movies - what could possibly go wrong?

...and Kim Novak in the title role.
