Anecdotes
Alan Bates was first asked to play Bishop Quentin.

Gaffes
Several of the companions of St. Patrick are shown wearing what is obviously a Franciscan habit. St. Francis of Assisi was not born until 1182 and did not gather an order around him until the 1200s, 800 years after St. Patrick.

Citations
Calpornius: The years of slavery must have taken their toll. Now you must seize the day as it presents itself. Patrick, you're my only son, the priesthood is nothing but poverty and obedience, how can you chose that above a life of wealth, status, and opportunity?
Patrick: It's not my choice! Father, it's a calling I can hear. I keep having visions.
Calpornius: Visions? You let visions rule your life?
Patrick: It was a vision that led me home, I put my faith in it and here I am and now the visions are calling me back and I must put my trust in them.

A slave boy grows up to be Bishop of Ireland.

A young boy is kidnapped and forced into slavery, guarding sheep in Ireland. With his faith in God, he returns home only to decide to study to become a priest and introduce Christianity to the poor and enslaved people of Ireland. His deeds led him to becoming the second Bishop of Ireland. Very informative look at this fifth century personage. His reported use of the shamrock as an illustration of the Holy Trinity led to its being regarded as the Irish national symbol.

A very talented cast featuring Patrick Bergin as the adult Patrick and Luke Griffin as the young Patrick. Malcolm McDowell, Alan Bates and Susannah York seemed flawless.
