      1982 1h 5m Drama Romance List
      Reviews Rural Ireland in the 1950s offers little in the way of entertainment and socializing, save for dance halls.

Although she recalls her younger days of happiness on the dance floor, the present doesn't offer much romance, and Bridie eventually finds herself uneasily in the arms of the hard-drinking Bowser (John Kavanagh).
