Agnes Browne




Average but enjoyable movie set in the 1960s. Different to the TV series though some of the dialogue and actors are the same. After her husband dies Agnes (Huston) visits a money lender and then her friend falls ill. But Tom Jones arrives to uplift the movie. There's a romance with a French baker. Brenda O'Carroll appears as a wino. Nothing special but worth a look.
