The Fearless Vampire Killers

The Rising of the Moon
(1957)Director John Ford, acclaimed actor Tyrone Power, and the players of Dublin's famous Abbey Theatre bring to life three stories about Ireland that reveal the fierce pride, the unrestrained gaiety, and the unending devotion of the Irish people. In "The Majesty of the Law," a police officer is assigned to arrest an Irish curmudgeon who hit the neighbor who sold him a lousy batch of homemade whiskey. Set at a train station, "A Minute's Wait" offers a humorous look at Irish conceptions of time as a train's brief scheduled stop to pick up some lobsters for an important dinner stretches out into a long, leisurely pause. The final vignette, "1921," tells the story of the elaborate rescue of an Irish patriot from prison.

Start the Revolution Without Me
(1970)Comedian Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland star in this hysterical farce as two sets of twins mixed up at birth -- one raised as an aristocrat, and the other as a peasant.

The Shadow of a Gunman
(1972)Set in a Dublin tenement in the 1920s, The Shadow of a Gunman was the first part of Sean O'Casey's celebrated "Dublin Trilogy."
