HOW IRISH WAS MY LEFT FOOT?

Well my leg is fully Irish from being born here! But the classic 'Irish' movie My left foot may not actually be? That's according to Shoot the cabbage's extensive research! Apparently there's an article in the Evening Herald newspaper from 08 July 1992 where one hundred European movies were funded to get a video release under a certain label. However, My left foot was turned down the chance to appear in this collection as it was not considered an Irish film! That's because the criterion was that each film had to be funded by their own country. So now you know! So much for the Leaving Cert programme and the various Irish film festivals around the world screening this movie
year after year!
