The fighting prince of Donegal...

 Dear blog,

I recently watched this movie.. when examining the VHS to throw away.. (yes.. i'm on the dark side right now) I discovered this title amongst many.. And off course.. Donegal.. a wee place in Ireland.. I just had to watch this movie before I'd toss away  in the bin.. If you can recall.. Donegal IS the place where all the folk and great traditional music is born.. (Enya, Moya, Clannad.. as the famous ones..) AND I visited Donegal in 2008.. (also almost 100 years ago..) with Mic.. And then it hit me again.. It's 13 years ago I last visited Ireland.. WHAT THE HELL HAPPEND??? What it is with time passing by? No. I deny everything... I miss Ireland.. 

Something about the movie nevertheless: 

I was not blown away by it... but it was quite entertaining.. This movie is really old.. it's from 1966.. and this means.. it's almost 100 years old! (nono.. the calculator stated it's only 55) but still..  There aren't any well known actors in this movie (and all the 'Irish' people ARE played by Brits.. (ooh, the horror).. This movie was back in the day made by Disney.. AND i have to say.. Sometimes i got some 'Robin Hood' vibes with this movie.. (when that one was made in 1973, maybe they got the mustard from this one right here)

The lead actor was quite handsome, and the love story in this movie, was quite cute. :)

This movie was loosely based on an Irish man from the 16th Century.. 

The best scene is that when they sing a cool Irish song.. :D and that's at the end of the movie:

Lots of Irish love..
