Luck of Ginger Coffey
Yet another Irish movie from the early '60s this one is set in Canada. A middle-aged Irish man tries to find an office job while his attractive wife wants to go back to Ireland. Like Hitchcock's I Confess it's filmed at real locations and is impressively done. Very well made by the future director of the Star Wars sequel. The story follows Shaw as he drifts from job to job trying to hold on to his marriage. Sad story but has some humour. This is the kind of movie that makes most stuff funded by the Irish Film Board look sh*t.
