Quackser Fortune has a cousin in the Bronx
Little-seen Irish movie that stars Wilder and Kidder before they were famous. Set around Dublin it tells the story of a horse manure collector (!) who meets an American TCD student. But the horse trade is dying out and Wilder is being forced to work in a factory. Has an interesting counter-culture slant which is completely missing from most other Irish movies.

Filmed in tourist Dublin this is a classic picture that's buried away in the vaults and will never reach a wide audience because it will make most other Irish movies look sh*t.
