The Hills of Donegal

Dinah Sheridan stars in this bit of Irish whimsy.Supposedly playing an Irish woman,she lets her accent slip most of the time.It is a great surprise to see John Bentley as a villain,bearing in mind that he spent most of his career playing a detective and getting the girl in the last reel.Moore Mariott is his usual self in his fourth film of 1947.He made none the following year and 2 in 1949,the year of his death.Irene Handel appears in a small role before she became comedy character actress in the fifties.This looks to be a very cheap production,which is little surprise bearing in mind that this is a Butchers Film.The film is very disjointed due to the many musical interludes which include opera,gypsy music and an Irish jig.
