What critics compared Ryan's Daughter to
Think of it not so much as "The Quiet Man" or "Ryan's Daughter," but as an epic Irish Spring commercial.
But where Ryan's Daughter's disappointing reception drove the exceedingly proud Lean out of the business for fourteen years, Dune's critical drubbing took Lynch off the overcrowded commercial beat while leaving him with enough of a profile to get more personal projects bankrolled.
