Ryan's Daughter is David Lean's 1970 film which tells the story of an Irish girl who has an affair with a British soldier during World War I, despite opposition from her nationalist neighbours.Critical ReceptionThe film received a very hostile reception by the critical community upon its initial release, feeling that the characters were "dwarfed by excessive scale." Many attribute the bad reviews to critics expectation's being too high as Lean had directed three epic blockbusters in a row prior to making Ryan's Daughter. The bad reaction to this film is what many say caused Lean not to make a film for more than ten years.Awards
TriviaJohn Mills played a mute in the film. For his Oscar acceptance speech, he bowed without saying a word, making this the shortest acceptance speech on record.Other Sources[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Ryan's Daughter ] Some related entries: Ricardo Antonio Chavira | Ashley Scott | Rufina Nifontova | Misato Fukuen | Nick Tanner | Noam Pitlik | Judy Gold | Gods and Monsters | Dolph Lundgren | Larry Hagman | Francine Brody This page is based on the copyrighted Wikipedia article Ryan's Daughter; it is used under the GNU Free Documentation License.
