For a clue, let me say a few things about the movie. I believe that the movie was completely overlooked when it first came out (1970). I saw the film for the first time on AMC and thought it was great. The movie was filmed in a small Pennsylvania town but the stars are British.
Yes, "The Molly Maguires" is correct. I remember that you live in Pennsylvania, Raggedy. You should see this movie when you can. Great performances by Richard Harris and Sean Connery.
