About Irish and Proud of It
An Irish-born businessman based in London is kidnapped by colleagues as a joke and flown back to the small village of his birth. There he finds that American gangsters are forcing the local publicans to buy illegally-produced raw spirit with which to adulterate branded products.
Directed by Donovan Pedelty, Irish and Proud of It leans on a strong ensemble — Richard Hayward, Dinah Sheridan, Gwenllian Gill — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1936.
