Another bleak Irish movie from the '60s. This one is about a woman who moves to England, marries a doctor, and returns home as she doesn't fit in. She then chats to the locals and looks back on her youth. Like other Irish films from this era (e.g. Quare fellow) there are lots of quiet sequences. Don't know why these films had so little background sounds but it give the movie a stagey feel. It also makes the movie very downbeat and studio based. Interesting movie about unhappy Irish emigrants to England - even the wealthy ones.
