"The Rising of the Moon" is a very obscure Ford movie, the kind of picture Ford would say merely "a job of work". In other words, it is not to be taken seriously. I watched it the other night, wondering to find out why it is so overlooked among Ford's pictures. It is basically a disjointed, yet reflective poem on Ireland in a by-gone era that works if you are a hardcore Ford fanatic. It is based on three vignettes that are introduced by Tyrone Power. They are called "A minutes Wait", "The Majesty of the Law", and "Rising of the Moon" also known as "1921". It is not a great movie and certainly nowhere near the kind of movie it often evokes, the beautiful "The Quiet Man", but there are some nice and enjoyable moments, particularly in the vignette about the train that makes a stop for two hours instead of one minute.
This is only the hardcore Ford fans.
