The Rising of the Moon

“Actually filmed in the Emerald Isle!”
6.9 /10 (21) 1957 1h 21m
Comedy Drama
Director John Ford
Screenplay Frank S. Nugent, Michael J. McHugh
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 an 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 a little train station and glimpses into the lives of the passengers, with a series of comic setups. The third piece, "1921," is about a condemned Irish nationalist and his daring escape.
