 Ryans Daughter

Lovely headstrong Rosie [Sarah Miles] cannot forsake her passionate romance with the handsome British officer [Christopher Jones].  Yet there is a greater love-the devotion of her reserved school teacher husband Charles [Robert Mitchum], who stands by her when her illicit affair leads to a charge of treason.

Two honoured alumini of Lawrence Of Arabia and Dr Zhivago—Director David Lean and screenwriter Robert Bolt—framed this brooding tale within the expansive beaches , craggy cliffs and heathered hills of Ireland’s Dingle Peninsular.  Freddie Young’s lush cinematography and John Mills memorable portrayal of the town simpleton won Academy Awards.  The remarkable movie containing them casts a haunting spell. 198 min
