BLARNEY Director: HARRY O'DONOVAN 1938 * UK-IRELAND * 68 MINUTES Book cinema tickets One of the first celluloid comedies to be made in Ireland, Blarney is a whimsical riot. Billy Brannigan (Jimmy O’Dea) finds a briefcase of stolen jewels, mistaking it for his own bag. Noel Purcell plays one of two sergeants haplessly attempting to apprehend the thieves and, more enthusiastically, the affections of the local inn-keepers daughter. The thieves are captured in the end and the cross-border hatchet is buried in the process. Director: HARRY O'DONOVAN 1938 * UK-IRELAND * 68 MINUTES
