QuickView
Story-line: circa 1916, life in an Irish town is perturbed by English operations against the IRA.
Pluses: fine acting, great direction and gorgeous visuals.
Minuses: none really.
Comments: the film focuses on the town teacher, his wife and Father Hugh, the local priest who leads his parishioners with an iron hand. I simply loved Trevor Howard’s fiery performance (do remember that this actor also played Captain Bligh in MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY). An excellent film.
