With a rather slow start, the mood is set.

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2011

Verified Purchase

In spite of, to me, a rather slow start that certainly sets the "mood" for this film of "Falling for a Dancer", the film is really a very engrossing "love story" that kept me highly entertained. The film is very dark being filmed beautifully on the coast of Ireland in a bleak area where it seems to rain all of the time. The heroine, Beth (acted wonderfully by Elizabeth Dermot-Walsh) has become pregnant by a touring actor much to the horror (it is 1937) of her parents especially her "tight-lipped" and no doubt frigid mother. Although her father's objects (had to please her mom) she is married off to a much older widower with (I believe) five (5) kids that includes "a babe in arms". The widower (played greatly by Richard Standeven) is not too nice to her,once they are to themselves on the coast of Ireland--he's very possessive of Beth and not very loving. She seeks attention at a dance from a very young man which makes her widower husband completely furious. Lurking on the hill outside of their home is her husband's sexy male cousin that works for him--they don't care for each other very much. Although Beth has many obstacles and nightmarish occurrences to deal with, she proves to be a very strong and courageous woman indeed finding true love eventually.

This film could have dissolved into a weepy soap-opera; however it does NOT become weepy at all because it is so well written, directed and acted. So, If you desire a really good and believable romantic movie, get this film.

a beautiful treasure of a movie

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2012

I decided to finally buy this DVD for myself - it is truly an indulgence to be able to watch it as many times as I like to!! This love story set in Ireland in 1937 is so beautiful and poignant. Liam Cunningham as Mossie Sheehan shines in probably one of the most compelling and touching performances I've seen by an actor as a man in the throes of unrequited love. His understated acting was so powerful with its underlying smoldering sensuality - I fell in love with him myself. Elisabeth Dermot-Walsh as the unhappy Beth was just outstanding - her passion and love of life cut short by a mistake that had dire consequences and equally dire solutions in 1937 Ireland where women's rights were practically unheard of. The acting of the entire cast of this movie - the children, the townspeople, her parents, was just so outstanding. Put this story with its fine cast of actors into the most beautiful country ever seen (I had the privilege of visiting both No. Ireland and the Rep. of Ireland just recently) and you have a treasured classic to be enjoyed just for the sheer pleasure of falling in love again every time you watch it. My only negative about this movie was it ended too quickly - when Mossie finally revealed his feelings to Beth - I think that deserved a very passionate kiss, which we didn't see - but hopefully happened !!!

Heartbreaking, fulfilling and beautiful!

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2002

The film is an investment in time and in the characters here. And what characters - all richly drawn! Elizabeth - strong yet vulnerable and so very unhappy. But determined to make her life work as best she can given the limitations of life for women (not to mention unwed pregnant girls)in 1930's Ireland. Mossie Sheehan, played so heartbreakingly beautifully by Liam Cunningham, will make you want to weep. He falls for Elizabeth immediately, but cannot act on it. Her parents have married her to his estranged cousin Neely (they feud over land) an older widower far from a good and loving husband or father. Her step children - particularly Katie who is doomed to repeat Elizabeth's mistakes - who come to love and respect her as their mother. Elizabeth longs to experience the things all 25 year old women want. Fun, flirting, passion. And she gets it with Daniel McCarthy a boy Katie's age who tragically decides that he is in love with Elizabeth. Mayhem and death ensue. When Mossie finally declares his true feelings to Elizabeth you just want to cry. He's so beautifully sweet! Yes, make the investment. It is a sometimes dark, sometimes unpleasant, but honest look at rural life. But there is a definite pay-off in the end. My only complaint is with the last line in the film. Too corny by half!

The all-time favorite movie of a lifelong movieholic!

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 1999

This adaptation of the Deirdre Purcell novel runs approximately 200 minutes and is worth every second. In the beginning of the film, Elizabeth Sullivan has her first romance with an actor in a traveling show and finds herself pregnant and the actor long gone. Her parents, wanting to avoid embarrassment, consult their priest for advise and he comes up with a recently widowed older man with young children who needs a wife. Left with few options, Elizabeth, played beautifully by newcomer Elisabeth Dermot-Walsh, marries this stranger and endures a life much harder than the privileged one she left. Her husband, Neeley, treats her like property he's paranoid of losing, but not especially cherished property.
Watching from the hill above is Neeley's cousin, Mossie Sheenan (Liam Cunningham). Neeley inherited his farm from Mossie's father, who died when Mossie was very young and probably before he could change his will to leave the place to his son - a situation that has caused bad blood between them. This has Elizabeth misinterpreting just about everything Mossie does as being motivated by a desire to either cause Neeley trouble or to regain his land.
There isn't much more we can tell without giving away too much, but this movie has everything you can hope for . . .a great story, beautiful scenery, haunting music, and WONDERFUL ACTING.

I like this movie because in the end things work out for Elizabeth.

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2021

I read the summary of the book. And it appears that the book and the movie are somewhat different. However the story is still the same. The ending is much better in the movie than the book in my opinion. The movie does touch on some sensitive issues such as a rape and some physical abuse but this is very brief and without this the story of making the best is a bad situation could not be told. This one of my go to movies when I want to see a happy ending.

Falling for a Dancer is a mini series I have had for years on VHS. Since the VCRs are no longer on the market unless second hand and both of mine are broken I did order Falling for a Dancer on DVD. Glad I did because I love to watch it once in a while. It arrived as promised and in perfect conditons.
