Moonfleet
Wild and wonderful as the thrill-packed novel that inspired it !
Directed by Fritz Lang
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A swashbuckling period adventure centered on a young orphan's relationship with a morally complex mentor figure amid smuggling and treasure-seeking in eighteenth-century England.
Set in the eighteenth century, Moonfleet is about John Mohune, a young orphan who is sent to the Dorset village of Moonfleet to stay with an old friend of his mother's, Jeremy Fox. Fox is a morally ambiguous character, an elegant gentleman involved with smugglers and pirates.
