3.0 out of 5 stars read the book/watch the movie/would have been better with be, June 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lovin Molly [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Lovin' Molly is the film version of Larry McMurtry's book:"Leaving Cheyenne". It is a warm story of two men(Johnny and Gid) and one woman(Molly) and their love for her and her love for them. The movie spans a time of 40 years,in which the characters remain friends and lovers. There is good character development,which shows Molly's freespirited attitudes toward love, sex and friendship and shows Gid's sense of honor toward Molly and his wife(Susan Sarandon). The viewer will enjoy the movie more by reading the book first. Characters and themes are better developed in the book. One shortcoming of the movie is that it too short to tell such a good story. The major fault of the movie is the film editing.In the story, McMurtry tries to communicate to the reader the folkways of Texas. In that regard, the movie is a good reporduction of his intent. In the book, you will find great writing and warm phrasing.Read it first. This reviewer searched for this movie for two years and found it on Amazon.I saw it on screen in the early 1970s.

3.0 out of 5 stars an additional comment from viewer from NC, June 10, 1999

This review is from: Lovin Molly [VHS] (VHS Tape)

In my first review of this video, I neglected to mention that there is a powerful story here. Despite the movie's shortcomings, which are largely the result that telling it in detail would have made it too long, it is a good story. Each character(Gid, Johnny, and Molly) tell their version of their life together. Dates on screen help the viewer track the chronology as the story unfolds. It's a good buy, especially if you read the book also.

This is one of my favorite movies from my youth. I was surprised to find it in any version. It came in perfect new condition. Wish I could find in in DVD, but delighted to find it at all! Great service, great product, great easy of purchase. M. Loyd
