Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsThe trains at the Liverpool - Dublin railway/Ferry terminus are neither British Rail locomotives or in Standard British Rail Blue & Yellow livery. This scene was quite obviously filmed in Eire on the Irish Railway network with only a token attempt (a loudspeaker announcement in an English accent) to hide it.
- Crazy creditsThe opening Columbia logo on this film has no lettering, just the lady with the torch.
- ConnectionsReferences The Great Train Robbery (1903)
- SoundtracksYou Don't Have To Be Irish To Be Irish
Music by Roy Budd
Lyric by Ralph Nelson (as Alf Elson)
Performed by a chorus including Noel Purcell, Helen Raye and Jack Wild (uncredited)
[Performed during the St. Patrick's Day parade]
Featured review
i, like some other reviewers just cant seem to get this movie out of my head. i woke up and googled it and to my surprise there it was. it has been at least 30 years since i have seen it(only once) and if i close my eyes i can still see the trailer from the movie theater in which 2001 a space odyssey was playing. i have nothing but fond memories of the movie and can still see jack wild (and wasn't mark lester in the movie also?) running around castles on the shores of ireland evading there step dad. i remember jack wilds character biting his step dad on his wrist to get away. did i remember that correctly? i am going on line to see if it is available so i can buy it for my daughter.
