Be transported back to simpler times where people mostly play small-town games with each other with good intentions. The references to Irish culture are refreshing and inspiring in these times where some would see it erased. The acting is bright and energetic. The story meanders a bit but plot threads all have satisfying ending, no loose ends. The special effects are very dated, but they achieve their intended effect without breaking the suspension of disbelief. Sean Connery, Janet Munro, and Albert Sharp all turn in great performances. This is a magical film for the whole family to enjoy. I highly recommended seeing it , several times!
