    Moonfleet

    Reviewed by

    Moonfleet is an English novel that was required reading when I was in grade nine, an adventure saga I enjoyed as a fairly wild boy. On learning that it was filmed way back in 1955, I was on the trail to find and see it. It's a movie not well known but most enjoyable with the performance of Stewart Granger as the swashbuckling contraband artist. The cast for this 1955 caper is top notch with the likes of George Saunders, Joan Greenwood, Viveca Lindfors, Liliane Montevecchi and the child star Donna Corcoran. In its main theme of bootlegging, it reminds me a good deal of Daphne du Maurier's Jamaica Inn which was filmed in circa1940 by Alfred Hitchcock. Children will especially enjoy the raucous adventure of this now forgotten film.
