Kassandra O’Connell, Head of the Irish Film Archive at the IFI, has chosen this gem from the Archive vaults.

Set against the backdrop of the Irish War of Independence, Beloved Enemy is an engaging love story that depicts the relationship between the daughter of a British peace envoy and an IRA leader. Although the film displays a disclaimer at the start, claiming that the main characters are fictional, its story is clearly inspired by the alleged love affair between Michael Collins and Lady Lavery.
