Mahoney's Estate (1972)


British Lion
Directed by Harvey Hart and Alexis Kanner
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Rarefilmm)

Alexis Kanner leaves the big city to live off the land in the country. He rents a run down shack and plants peas. Beautiful Maud Adams shows up and seduces him, then disappears with her cool friends for awhile. Next, his old friend Sam Waterston drops by, and talks Kanner into letting him live there with his pregnant girlfriend. They bicker constantly and Kanner threatens to kick them out, but he does develop a platonic friendship with the girl. Maud reappears for another tryst, but they are too far apart philosophically to last. Kanner eventually gets the solitude he desires, but not sure he wants. Extremely dated film with a soundtrack by Ronnie Wood, Ronnie Lane and Pete Townshend that is probably better known than the film itself.
