This vivid film about the early life of celebrated Irish playwright Sean O’Casey was filmed on location in and around Dublin and showcases an extraordinary cast. Rod Taylor plays the title role, and the supporting cast includes Oscar winners Maggie Smith and Julie Christie early in their careers, along with British theater and film veterans Michael Redgrave, Edith Evans, Sian Phillips, and Flora Robson. The film was begun by Oscar-winning director John Ford, but when he fell ill the film was completed by Oscar nominee Jack Cardiff (Sons and Lovers). Pauline Kael wrote, “Compared to other movies about a famous writer’s youth, this one is highly intelligent,” and she added that Taylor “gives a surprisingly good performance as the brawling dreamer-hero.”
