Movie Reviews of The Irish R.M. - Series 1
Movie Review: Celtic Pandemonium
Summary: 5 Stars
This wonderful comedy, contrasting English reserve with Celtic abandon and imaginative mischief, is a delightful exposition of that culture which was transplanted, in large measure, from the Celtic lands to the southern climes of North America. What we call "Southerners" in the United States are, in their cultural essence, of Celtic origin, and Southerners will recognize themselves in this charming revelation of Celtic (Southern) manners.
While there are major differences between Englishmen and Yankees, nevertheless Southerners will appreciate the difference between Flurry, who represents the Irish temperament, and the Magistrate, who personifies the very proper English way -- although, in the course of the series, the Magistrate begins to see, by stages, the humane logic of the Celtic lifestyle.
I've never seen a more delightful, pointed, and enjoyable exposition of the contrasts between the English and the Irish, or, to stretch the point a bit, between the Yankee and the Southerner.
Summary of The Irish R.M. - Series 1
Peter Bowles (Rumpole of the Bailey, To the Manor Born) stars in this comic drama series about a retired English army officer who becomes a Resident Magistrate in turn-of-the-century West Ireland. Living in a ramshackle country house surrounded by the community?s eccentric inhabitants, Major Sinclair Yeates struggles to apply judicial logic in a country where, in the words of a former Lord Chief Justice, "the inevitable never happens but the improbable frequently does."This classic PBS Masterpiece Theatre series, shot entirely on location in County Kildare, captures the texture of the lush Irish countryside. Also featuring Beryl Reid (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy) and Bryan Murray (Perfect Scoundrels).
The Episodes: Great-Uncle McCarthy, Trinket?s Colt, A Misdeal, The Boat?s Share, Occasional Licences, "O Love! O Fire!" DVD BONUS FEATURES INCLUDE a "making of" featurette, stories and recipes from Mrs. Cadogan's kitchen, cast filmographies and a profile of writers Somerville and Ross.
