The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders

It’s marry Olde England when Moll comes to London! The ravishing Kim Novak (Vertigo) stars in The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders, a bawdy comedy based on the novel by Daniel Defoe (Robinson Crusoe). An all-star supporting cast—including Angela Lansbury, Vittorio De Sica, Leo McKern, George Sanders, Lilli Palmer and Cecil Parker—joins the fun as Moll sets out on her (ahem) well-laid plan to make schemes come true in 18th-century London. She masquerades as a rich widow to land a wealthy nobleman (Richard Johnson), never dreaming that he’s actually a penniless scoundrel posing to win the presumably rich Moll. What a perfect match! Lavishly directed by Terence Young (From Russia with Love, Cold Sweat), the fortunes and misfortunes of the famous Moll Flanders add up to a rollicking, ribald cinematic romp! This new restoration by Paramount gives us the home entertainment debut of the 131-minute uncut and uncensored version of the film.
