Man of no importance
Back in the 1990s several famous British actors decided they wanted to appear in Irish movies. One example was the great Albert Finney. In this film he played an Oscar Wilde-loving, gay, bus conducter. He tries to help a young lady get ahead in life only to discover that she's a slut!

The kind of film they don't make in Ireland anymore - the light-comedy, nostalgic, character-driven drama.
