Irish destiny
Silent film about the IRA. No classic but there's a great scene of a guy travelling down Grafton street over the Liffey and up to Parnell Square. Interesting footage from 1920's Dublin. Another interesting scene was the break out of the camp. Uncanny that it's so similar to the later Great escape war movie? The rest of the picture has lots of impressive master shots of people talking in a room (a common technique in silent cinema). The only Irish silent movie out on DVD?
