Thank you so much for this - my father played Ryan in Ryan's Daughter and I lived in Dingle for 6 months as a child and watched the filming nearly every day. Amazing memories!
Thank YOU so much for taking the time to comment Abigail, yes one of the great movies directed by the acclaimed David Lean with a great cast, including your Father the legendary Leo McKern..
@@trevormoses5061 Thank you Trevor - yes, there is still a Prisoner Appreciation Society that meet in "The Village" in Wales every year (well, before Covid anyway)
This was a brilliant film. The scenery showing the wild seas and the harsh weather was excellently filmed. The human side of the story was rather understandably predictable, where marriage is shown as the imperfect institution humans have ever made. One has to accept that the instincts and emotions, once they raise their heads, no conditional teachings and culture can control them. Every character in the film seems to win some compassion towards the particular physical and mental state depicted. The accompanying music is so effective.
Would like to see part 2please we’ve been to that place wonderful we love Ireland it’s what we need in times like these thank you.Peace to you all.🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈☘️☘️☘️☘️💚💚💚
@@leighcochran7303 Ryan's Daughter is one of my favorite films. David Lean was such a magnificent director. The cinematography was just incredible. The opening with the red sky and the time it took to catch the perfect scenes of the storm surge and the clouds and mist forming over the mountains, when Father Hugh says, " you'd think they were announcing the coming of Christ". The music stays with me all the time. And the performance of John Mills was brilliant. Michael was probably the most redeeming character in the movie. Sarah Miles should have gotten the Academy Award, I think, even though Glenda Jackson was brilliant as well in Women In Love. Probably the movie"s reception played a part in that. But all the leads were excellent. Even Christopher Jones had his moments. But his behavior towards Sarah Miles during the love scenes was unforgivable. Any normal man would have been dazzled to have those scenes with the lovely Sarah Miles. Just a beautiful movie, despite what some critics say. It was on TCM this past March 12, and I recorded it. I hadn't seen it for so long. I must have watched it 100 times since!
I see all the timber and stone callings to the garden walls have gone now - just the masonry shell survives. I guess no one is interested in looking after film props… bit sad given the scale and magnificence of Lean’s achievement there.
I'm a German citizen, but even my English knowledge is quite good I've problems with some special terms. What means "Fillum" exactly? "Movie theatre" as suggested in reverso isn't suitable. Paul Benedict Rowan used it also in his book "Making of Ryan's Daughter". In the mentioned book he uses the expression "Brock's Benefit (fireworks display)" a term that describes an orgasm with other words to my understanding. Thank you for your assistance!
Idiot film critics, David Lean becomes the King of epic critically acclaimed epic blockbusters, stacks up giant profits and slews of Oscar wins and they shit on him for making a massive roadshow epic in color, in large format widescreen, with an ensemble of top tier character actors, written by one of the greatest playwrights/screenwriters of the 20th century, glorious sets, striking costume designs and a love story that that sharply criticizes the ultra conservative society of early 20th century Ireland. If an equivalent version of this film came out today then this film would have a much better chance at breaking the box offices and sweeping in the awards. I can't imagine personally berating someone like David Lean, especially someone like that overrated simpleton of a film critic Richard Schickel. I've rarely been impressed by Pauline Kaels skills as a film critic because she seemed to constantly claim that a poorly crafted film can be redeemed by agreeing with her political/social beliefs despite it's mediocrity. Idk why Ebert wasn't a bigger fan but nobody is perfect, he's like 50/50 reviewer most of the time

Your father was a wonderful actor: I will always remember him as Number Two in "The Prisoner". 🙂😊

Loved him in "Help." He must have had some good stories!
Love, a 70-year old Beatlemaniac!
And his line in "Help." "It's a very real problem. I say that all the time!
Thanks for sharing. I visit Dun Chaoin every chance I get.
The local guys make this great.
Man! So glad you did this awesome video...thank you
very interesting! I*m a huge R. Mitchum fan so it is very exciting for me to watch the making of Ryan's D. Lots of thanks for uploading.

Es una gran película, como otras de David Lean . La he visto muchas veces y se la mostré a mi hija en su momento...y ahora a mi nieta
The storm scene was done on loop head in Co Clare, it's not documented much though
Me gustaría verla completa!!!!Hace mas de 40 años la ví!!!!
Same here. Just saw it on St. Patrick's Day on the big screen. SO worth it! And worth living in Boston.

They've let the school deteriorate. There will soon be nothing left
