This excellent film has become even more humorous since the Autumn of 2001.
I recall my father, who was born in Eire and moved to the UK during the 1930s, relating tales of how he found being blown up by Irish terrorists preferable to being blown up by luftwaffe terrorists.
Other correspondents have seen fit to criticize two eminent actors for their interpretation of the gaelic brogue. It's not very easy to emulate. And those of us fortunate enough to have been born with a brogue also have ears which can detect the phony however skillfully delivered.
The story line is a little shaky. But then it was probably composed by a hyphenated Irishman and in that event it's not a bad effort.
