Quare fellow

Currently on the Dublin stage this is the movie version from the early '60s. American-born Irish actor McGoohan plays a man from the islands who gets a job as a prison warder. There a man is due to be hanged (the quare fellow) and his wife tries to stop the hanging. Like a lot of black and white movies from this era it's quite depressing and silent in parts. The penultimate scene was at the Harold's Cross bridge. Two men come over from England to do the hanging and visit eighteen pubs! Not as powerful as the famous old Hollywood prison movies.
