Probably the most famous of Irish-made films this movie is responsible for lots of dire '50s dramas made here over the years. A disabled man becomes a writer and meets a woman. Still holds up and certainly stands out from most of the dross made here since. Lots and lots of familiar Irish acting faces in this movie. Essential viewing for anyone interested in Irish cinema. Little known fact: a British film magazine once selected this movie as turkey of the year!
