Darby O’Gill and the Little People
3/17/2019
Darby O’Gill (Albert Sharpe) is the rascally old raconteur of Rathcullen, and though his tales seem tall, they’re about the littlest legends in Irish lore! A strapping young Dubliner named Michael (Sean Connery) is hired to replace Darby as caretaker of the Fitzpatrick estate, and soon falls in love with Darby’s beautiful daughter Katie (Janet Munro). While forces in the town attempt to disrupt life for their clan, Darby must call upon his friendly rival for assistance, the leader of the leprechauns, King Brian (Jimmy O’Dea). Only together can they hope to maintain happiness and balance in their musical, magical town!
“Darby O’Gill and the Little People is not only one of Disney’s best films, but is certainly one of the best fantasies ever put on film.” – Leonard Maltin
“Being a Disney product, it is as technically perfect a job as can be had: the Technicolor, the camera work, the special effects, the Irish music and all are a rich feast for anyone’s eye and ear.” – Charles Stinson, Los Angeles Times
