The Rising of the Moon
“Actually filmed in the Emerald Isle!”
Three vignettes of old Irish country life, based on a series of short stories. In "The Majesty of the Law," a police officer must arrest a very old-fashioned, traditional fellow for assault. The man's principles have the policeman and the whole village, including the man he slugged, sympathizing with him. "One Minute's Wait" is about an little train station and glimpses into the lives of the passengers, with a series of comic setups. The third piece is called "1921" and is about a condemned Irish nationalist and his daring escape. Tyrone Power introduces each story.
A warm, nostalgic journey into rural Irish life. These interconnected tales offer gentle humor and poignant observations on tradition, community, and the human spirit. It feels like listening to well-told stories by a crackling fire.
