Summary: Don't Mine too Deep into this Story
Review: Sean Connery and Richard Harris star in this story of the secret society of the Molly MacGuires in 1800's Pennsylvania. Actual Pennsylvania coal field locations serve as the backdrop for this film. Richard Harris portrays an undercover detective who enters the mines in search of saboteurs. Harris' character very quickly bears witness to the cruel conditions under which the coal miners are subjected and he comes to sympathize with coal mining community. Sean Connery plays a somewhat subdued role as one of the unofficial coal miner leaders. Overall the film is more of a comment on the horrible conditions imposed on immigrant Irish coal miners than the true story of the Molly MacGuires and the sensational murder trials that concluded this era. If you are a Sean Connery fan, than you ought add this film to your collection. For historical accuracy you are better off reading a good book on the subject.

Summary: i dont recommend seeing ths movie unless you are Irish
Review: The Molly Maguires is a movie that takes place in 1876 on an American coal mining town. The movie stars Sean Connery and co-stars Richard Harris. Sean Connery plays an Irish coal miner by the name of Jack Kehoe. He is the leader of an underground mining terrorist group. Richard Harris plays Irish man by the name of James McKenna/McParlan. Who is hired as a detective to rat out the Molly Maguires. I think the movie was well thought out just did not appeal to me. With visual aid it totally explained what Irish work life was like when they got to Ameica.

Summary: Dark and Deep in the minds
Review: The Molly Maguires was an alright movie. It was not a movie that I would recommend to other people. Although Sean Connery did play a wonderful part it still wasn't a very good movie. There were a few parts that was interesting. For instance, the scene where some of the coal miners were crushed to death in the coal mine. I thought it was interesting to see if they were going to live or die. Of course, they died. The movie was set back in 1876. Sean Connery played a vicious man who tried to destroy the coal miners and their business. If you ever had trouble sleeping then this is the movie to watch. It made me fall to sleep, but like I said, there were a few interesting parts. I wouldn't never went out and rented it. Our history teacher made us watch it. I don't recommend you go out and rent it. I didn't like it but everybodys opinion is different. There are some people who might like it.

Summary: Molly Maguire
Review: The Molly Maguires was an interesting movie. I myself have no relation with the subject of this movie. Although I have a deep hatred toward "Rats" or "snitches" this movie was semi enjoyable to watch. After watching this movie I believe that i would have sided with the Molly Maguires. I don't know the actual historical facts but from what I saw in the movie the miner were treated very unfairly. I feel that I could watch this movie again just to learn more about our countries history. This movie had very good acting with a descent script and I wouldn't mind watching it again.

Summary: Review for Gov't
Review: The Molly Maguires, starring Sean Connery and Richard Harris, directed by Martin Ritt in 1970; is a movie about Irish miners and the hardships that they endure while working in the mines. Directed by Martin Ritt in 1970. The movie is set in Pennsylvania in the year 1876. The Molly Maguires is an illegal, violent union who took their cover under a legal union of coal miners by the name of, The Ancient Order of the Hibernians. This movie starts with the Molly Maguires sabotaging and destroying a portion of the mine. Jack Kehole, played by Sean Connery, is the leader of the Molly Maguires. Whereas Jack McKenna played by Richard Harris, is a detective sent to uncover the members of the Molly Maguires. He goes under cover into the mines and befriends the members of the Molly Maguires. During this period, he befriends them/gains their trust so much that they induct him into the Molly Maguires. However, in the end, even though it seems like he has taken their side, he has to do his job and testify against them. I believe that this was an accurate portrayal of the hardships and dangerous working conditions that the miners had to endure every single day. For example, the detective made $9.24 for his first week of work. When it came down to the nitty gritty he was only paid $0.24 due to all the deductions that were taken out of what he made. The mines were also dangerous placed to work mainly because of the risks took to having lung problems from the dust. Also when you do that sort of manual labor everyday there are great possibilities of being hurt. I enjoyed this movie to a certain point. For starters it had Sean Connery, and I do not know of any movies that he has done that were bad. He is also not a bad looking man. But enough about that. From this movie, The Molly Maguires, I learned about the Molly Maguires in general. Before hand, I have never heard about them. I was also unaware of how violent some of these unions were. I found the fact that they were not caught before they were because many of the people in the town had known who they were. I thought that this movie could have been just a little brighter, in the sense that it was always dark and gloomy. I would recommend this movie, simple because it would/is a good movie for educational purposes, and because it is a pretty good movie.

Review: The movie Molly Maguires is about a secret socity that Sean Connery goes in and works in the coal mines. He gets in the Molly Maguires and don't tell them why he came there to work. He is an undercover detective that is trying to see who is being treated unfairly. My history class watched the Molly Maguires to see how they were affected.

Review: The movie was so borning that I all most feel a sleep.It was about men in the coal mines.And about having a guy to tell the police what they were going to do. Then they would make it look like he had done something by hinting him over the head.
