Trivia:
According to cinematographer James Wong Howe, director Martin Ritt wanted to photograph this film in black and white, but was not allowed to do so by Paramount. By 1970, studios were concerned that B&W films would not make as much money when broadcast on television, possibly for fear that they would be considered "old" films.

Quotes:
Davies:
Yes, I need them caught in the act... no chance of an alibi. And not just two of them. I want the organisation. I want it smashed. Any bastard who even dreams of making trouble, I want him to wake up sweating blood at what happened to the Molly Maguires.
[McParlan starts to leave]
Davies: Not yet! I can't send you away unmarked.
[he floors McParlan with his truncheon]
Detective James McParlan: [bleeding] Well... it's a pleasure working with a man who likes his job.

Having been born and raised in the area this picture was filmed in,naturally I feel a bond to it. Add to that the fact that Richard Harris,one of my favorite actors stars in the film,and its a must see for me. Looking past that the film is riviting. Harris and Connery carry the film as the Cat and Mouse in this Coal town saga each playing to their professional strengths while adding a bit of their own to the roles. The supporting cast is just as strong,particularly the lovely and talented Samantha Eggar and the underused shakespearean actor Frank Finley.
On a personal note,two of my early mentors in theatre,J. Gerald Godwin and Jane Tomassetti have small roles in the film as the Paymaster and Miliner respectivley.
To sum it up..Molly McGuires is a film that you can sink your teeth into..and no matter which side of the conflict you find yourself on you can see what it was that drove men to do what they did.This film will not fail to keep you on the edge of your seat and make you think in the process.
