Movie Reviews of Darby O'Gill and the Little People
Movie Review: Beware the Banshee...
Summary: 5 Stars
My brother and I watched this movie when it was aired on television in the sixties. It was a good movie, and we were having a great old time, drinking sodas in our p.j.s while our parents got dressed upstairs for a night out. But when that Banshee came wailing onto the screen, my brother and I simultaneously dropped our soda bottles and let out stereo screams, almost as blood-curdling as the Banshee's wail, as we raced up the stairs to the safety of the lights and our parents. To this day I remember how petrified we were by that image! Of course nowadays, such a reaction seems absurd, but back then, in the feverish dream world of childhood, such relatively low-tech cinematography was the height of REALISTIC TERROR! I have discussed this movie with many people around the same age as me, and they ALL RECALL the AWFUL SIGHT AND SCREECH OF THE BANSHEE!
Summary of Darby O'Gill and the Little People
Take a wee bit of ancient folklore, mix in some spectacular special effects and a magical cast (including Sean Connery) -- and you've got one of the most enchanting fantasies of all time! A frisky old storyteller named Darby O'Gill is desperately seeking the proverbial pot of gold. There's just one tiny thing standing in his way: a 21-inch leprechaun named King Brian. In order to get the gold, Darby must match his wits against the shrewd little trickster -- which proves no small task, indeed! Fall under the spell of DARBY O'GILL AND THE LITTLE PEOPLE for a fun-filled evening of magic, mirth, and nonstop shenanigans!Purportedly one of Walt Disney's most personal pet projects, Darby O'Gill shows the effort and care put into it. Even now the special effects hold up shockingly well. Darby O'Gill is an estate caretaker, but in his advanced years he's more fond of telling tall tales in the local pub about the wee folk than keeping the grounds. A new man (a very youthful Sean Connery) is sent in to take his place, and O'Gill doesn't know what will become of himself and his daughter. He snags three spectacular opportunities, however, when he catches the king of the leprechauns. This film is whimsical without being silly, supernatural without being outlandish, and all and all a treat for the whole family. --Keith Simanton
