CROSSFIRE

Though not an Irish movie this claustrophobic noir starring three Roberts (Ryan, Montgomery, and Mitchum) has a remarkable scene where a detective discusses his grandfather. He moved from Ireland to America and bought land but was then persecuted for his nationality and murdered. The movie mentions the parallel with racism towards the Irish and its anti-semitic theme. Worth noting!
