Movie Reviews of Darby O'Gill and the Little People
Movie Review: Sure to make you glad of your Irish heritage
Summary: 5 Stars
Long ago, back in old Ireland, there lived a caretaker named Darby O'Gill (played by Albert Sharpe), who had many tales of his encounters with the king of the Leprechauns. But who could have known that they were not made up? And when Darby's replacement shows up (played by a young Sean Connery), it throws everything into an uproar. But never sell Darby O'Gill short, nor King Brian.
This is an excellent Disney movie that dates back to 1959. It's a lot of fun, sure to make you glad of your Irish heritage, even if you don't have one. The story is very good, and the special effects are excellent for the time. But, even more so, it's the excellent actors that make this movie, really bringing their characters to life.
Overall, my family and I really enjoyed this movie, and we highly recommend it to you and your family. Even the extras are great, including a show on Sean Connery and the movie, a show on the making of the movie (those guys were wizards!), and a 50 minute Disney special.
By the way, you might recognize Jack MacGowran playing Phadrig Oge, he also played Feeney, Squire Danaher's lackey in The Quiet Man.
Summary of Darby O'Gill and the Little People
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 SimantonTake 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!
