Oh, Mr Porter!
Strange that this famous comedy set along the Border never gets a mention in Irish cinema? Far funnier than recent Film Board efforts it's set at a train station in Buggleskelly. There are lots of crashes, arguments, and a gun-running operation. Will Hay gets sent to Ireland so as not to live with a relative and he tries to big up his little station. Except it's not even on the map! Some good character actors appear in this movie and it's recommended.
