Yet another impressive Irish-themed movie made in the years between the two Film Boards. This one is about a posh family living in the days of the Civil War and one man's revenge when their large house gets torched by the British army. Fed up saying this but it's much better than most Film Board titles! The movie is ruined however by a self-indulgent, pretentious ending where director O'Connor thinks he's Greek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos!
