Chances are if you visit a DVD retail shop and check the 'Irish' section this movie will definitely be on the shelf. It's got everything most people expect when they think of 'Irish cinema': girls with long hair; emigration; fights; poverty; scenery; evictions; horses; and romance. Great seeing this film on the Irish Film Board trailer even though it was made at a time when the Board didn't exist! Cruise travels to America to claim free land in a race. Filmed in Temple Bar and at the Guinness factory (for Boston). Chocolate-box cinema at its best!
