This is actually quite a fun film once it eventually starts to get going. It all centres around a small Irish village, the home of lots of quirkily interesting characters unafraid of a little naughtiness as their lives go by. Thing is, some of them get it into their heads that the world is about to come to a fiery end and so they confess their, frequently quite amusing, stories to their sagely local canon (Michael Dolan). The screenplay certainly has something of the Blarney about it, and though nothing much really happens it proves an enjoyable enough ramble with the dashing Kieron Moore and engaging Christine Norden taking central roles ably assisted by Noel Purcell - whose face always did remind me of a leprechaun - with Maire O'Neill and a little Liam Redmond too. Not really a film you will recall watching next day, but a simple story that raises smile and shows us some lovely scenery from County Louth.
