Derick W Hands down the best St. Patrick Day movie ever! This one has it all from leprechaun gold and magic to drunken limerick battles to tavern brawls and even the howl of the dreaded banshee! Sean Connery in one of his absolute greatest roles as the young handsome newcomer to take over the job of an aging Darby Ogill played by Albert Sharpe who turns in an absolute master class of acting as the wiley amd wise old yarn spinner challenging King Brian of the Leprechauns in a battle of wits for his pot of gold. Sean Connery must navigate taking over the caretaker job from the old pub storyteller while not ruffling any feathers as he simultaneously vies for the hand of Darby's beautiful daughter, Katie, before the dastardly town bully Pony Sugrew swoops in to steal it all away. Meanwhile, Darby is trying to steal the crock of gold from King Brian, but not so fast as the grim reaper is calling time on Darby with the dreaded Banshee keen to steal Darby's soul. Who gets the gold and who gets the girl in the end and will they live to tell the tale? It's all a mystical and heartfelt story brought to life by Disney's magic and state of the art for the time special effects. This is one that the entire family can enjoy and sure to become an annual holiday family classic.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Robert P This movie... where do i even begin Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Dale R One of Sean Connery’s first films, but he really doesn’t do much in this one but look handsome. Albert Sharpe plays an excellent Darby O’Gill that you end up rooting for throughout the movie. The special effects are good for the time and thanks to some keen research from Walt Disney, they work in a good deal of Irish folklore.
