MOLL FLANDERS (dvd) *NEW* story of one and 12 similar items

Brand new factory sealed dvd is Out Of Print and no longer being manufactured. Licensed by MGM so you can at least count on a good sourceprint. However, the pop-n-go video has no menus or special features but should be widescreen. The randomly placed chapter stops can be toggled thru with your remote buttons. Writer/director Densham takes only the title character and the 18th-century London setting from Daniel Defoe's 1722 novel in telling of spirited heroine MOLL FLANDERS' (Wright) life. Orphaned Moll eventually finds herself working at the brothel of greedy, scheming Mrs. Allworthy (Channing). Her life as a prostitute leads her to drink and near suicide--despite the unwavering friendship of Hibble (Freeman), Allworthy's dignified servant--until she falls for an impoverished artist (John Lynch) and briefly finds happiness. Wright's heartfelt performance holds everything together (with help from a talented supporting cast) but things do get dreary.
