- In 1921 Dublin, the IRA battles the "Black & Tans," special British forces given to harsh measures. Irish-American medical student Kerry O'Shea hopes to stay aloof, but saving a wounded friend gets him outlawed, and inexorably drawn into the rebel organization...under his former professor Sean Lenihan, who has "shaken hands with the devil" and begun to think of fighting as an end in itself. Complications arise when Kerry falls for a beautiful English hostage, and the British offer a peace treaty that is not enough to satisfy Lenihan.
Really a great cast all around. There are movies...and there are the ones that define greatness. This is one of them. Dublin 1921...you are there!
I am a fan of old movies and Irish history and yet I'd never heard of this excellent film till yesterday. Cagney and the rest of the cast is great.
I never heard of it either, 'til today June 24th '23. But aside from him killing the barmaid, the Cagney character was totally right. That was no peace treaty, it was a slavery pact, which is why the IRA regrouped.
Yes couldn’t believe it when I saw young Harold Steptoe as well, he’s also a very good actor ..Great film I agree ❤
It's been years since I saw this film, but its imagery and dialogue have stayed with me. What a memorable and haunting film. Thanks for uploading!
Glynis Johns as of Apr 30 2019, STILL WITH US! Born 5 October 1923 (age 95) I love her voice. and was quite a stunner in her day also.
Also watch - No Highway in the Sky - Glynis Johns
Agreed
Odds
Love her, always. She's 100 in 2023.
Great film, Cagney excellent but no one has commented on Richard Harris who became big on stage and screen and John Le Mesurier most notable in Dads Army. Many thanks for uploading this. 👍
I can
MGM l
Glynis johns and I am sure another actor from the 49th paralell niall macginnis as well played superb parts.
Yes he was brilliant in the wild geese
Beautiful, beautiful Glynis Johns, turning 100 in 2023. Love her, always!
I saw this at the time,1959, when I was 12 years old. I thought it was boring. Of course I was too young to understand what it was about. Even so, I remembered that and avoided watching this when it occasionally was shown on TV. How wrong I was to do that. It’s a fabulous movie.
Years since I saw this.True classic.Last time I watched this I was with my Mom-over 40yrs ago-Thanks for uploading.
The Incomparable Mr. Cagney, a Hollywood lcon! May he rest in peace. Thanks for this film!
Many thanks for uploading this classic film - I've previously watched it in segments - now this continuous performance version is a real treat.
Cagney was absolutely brilliant in this. The shootout at the docks at the end was brutal.
I don't have to shake hands, The devil sends emails each & every day to try to tempt me, to lure me into the darkness of filth and forgery.. What kind of a person does that??
"not a person fool, it's the devil!"
what a magnificent actor he was(James Cagney). what else can you say, he leaves it all out there in EVERY part he plays. This movie is no different. RIP Mr. Cagney...…….
Brilliant movie brilliant cast. Thanks.
First time I saw this movie was a child and the more I watch it, the more I appreciate it as a work of art bar none. Superb acting especially by Cagney whose character leaves you wondering about his misogynistic attitude towards the barmaid .
He was sub=consciously attracted to her but his all consuming passion for the cause repressed this attraction which eventually morphed into misogynism.
Very good film about a watershed moment in Irish history. Cagney - stunning as always - but with an exceptional British and Irish supporting cast. Saw it as a boy over 50 years. Thank you very much for posting.
great story,great acting,great film,,!!! jimmy cagney,don murray and all,,brava,,!!
also lovely to see my home country again,it has been many years..cheers all,!!
robert

Yep, very good movie
He could sing dance and play gangsters. Multi talented.
@@charlesrast4235
Yes ,he was very special
What an amazing cast and strong story played to its best. With minor roles played by Harry H Corbett, William Hartnell, Jon Le-Measurer.
...not forgetting Richard Harris, of course!
His role was not minor. He was not a minor charictor at all.
@@AndrewLohmannKent Noel Purcell's role was minor...remember his sole scene in the boot of a car?
Love anything with Cagney in it. Don't know too much about Irish history, but I love St
Patricks Day. I am "black" Irish on that day!
Hello Moriah You many not know but for many years the Irish were called and classed as the blacks of Europe because of the cruel and brutal behavior of the British government, its army and their police, During the 50s,60s and 70s in the UK it was common to see signs outside lodging houses No Irish, Blacks Or Dogs allowed, when looking for employment the signs were No Irish & Blacks need apply, that also happened in the good old USA and that is a recorded fact. The Irish and Blacks were welcomed when people were needed to fight their wars and carry out works that other people did not want to do. The Black and Irish people are all proud people, they will not stand aside and let anyone abuse or talk down to them, they are a fighting people, fighting for the good of all mankind and fighting for own their rights.and just for started Muhammad Ali forefathers/mother came for Co Clare west of Ireland, President Barack Obama's Irish links to the Kearney family from Moneygall Co. Offaly Ireland .Jimi Hendrix had a mixed genealogy, which included African American, Irish, and Cherokee ancestors. This is not uncommon. His paternal great-great-grandmother Zenora was a full-blooded Cherokee from Georgia who married an Irishman named Moore, You see that we are all connected somewhere back along the line, the more people understand this the better for us all. You are more than welcome to feel IRISH on the 17th March or any other day of the year
Great movie. James Cagney's acting range knew no bounds. Thanks for the upload!
Hello Pam, how are you doing and how is the weather with you
Great old film, thank you. Cagney was one of the best ever.
Wonderful movie! Cagney at his best!
This is a realist portrayal of Ireland's fight!
Fascinating film,thanks for posting it,I can't understand why it's so little known,especially given its quality and it's fairly frank and balanced approach to such complex and grim events.it is sad to recall how much hope for peace and an end to violence there was,only to be followed by the Civil War and another 70 years of struggle and loss.I hope that Ireland can finally find the peace and prosperity such a noble land and fine people deserve in the 21st. century!
Beautifully said ! ❤️🙏🇨🇦
It has nearly a million views though
1959 - Great Cast for a really good film. One of many forgotten gems to see. Watch & enjoy. Thank you from an older German/Irish from Boston, MA. USA.
Excellent and thought provoking film with a wonderful cast.
Nice flick to sit back and watch on a cold rainy day here in NY. Thanks ....
very good movie showing how really bad things were in ireland i am glad things got better but thanks very much for uploading this film
Good movie...but we’re still waiting...☘️
This is an excellent film with a really good cast of some very famous actors. James Cagney played a great role as the IRA commander.
Just seen this. Fantastic film and engaging with great acting from James Cagney and Don Murray, Michael Redgrave, plus many British well knowns, about Irish IRA against British Black and Tans. Plots, underground meetings, terrorism, politics are all here in this fictional story.
Wonderful film. Excellent upload! Thank you
A memorable film, and Cagney is haunting in his role as local commander of an IRA cell. Sadly, this film has not been issued on DVD. Huge oversight.
It has now
I have it on dvd
Was it a political reason why the didn’t release it for years..? It wouldn’t surprise me if it was the case..😃Great film
Interesting film and a quality upload. Thanks for posting.
thanks for a good film never watch this before
oh no problem , thanks for appreciation and pass it on to others , take care , fran ,
Yeah CAGNEY BOGIE BRANDO SHALL I GO ON? ALL CLASSICS U WATCH FOR THE SUPERB PERGORMANCES EVERY TIME
James Cagney was a grand Irishman!
and today we have rosie o donell haha
What a brilliant movie to watch on Saint Patrick's Day. Erin go bragh
Keep the old IRA pics coming. This Cagney classic reminds me of NYC television during the 50s on St Patrick s Day.
Naive simpletons.
Excellent Cagney vehicle. Hero that goes nuts in the end. All Cagney films are great but this is one of the better ones and one of his last.
I lived in Belfast for 2 1/2 years during the "Troubles". This brought back memories
***** Well, Mr. W. I am glad you survived it. Being British I am none too proud of what the British did in Ireland and in many parts of the world. Cheers.
Robin Harding go take a selfie
Superb Filum and Cast about a country that is always close to my heart.Thanks ❤🇮🇪🎥
Thank you for uploading
Richard Harris sparkles in his first film - obviously a star in the making.
Fuck
This was his 2nd film..the 1st was Alive and kicking,made the same year.
One of my favorite actors is James Cagney. There were so many good actors and actresses I remember all of them in my youth. 😍Wonderful movie.
This is our country and we will never give it away.
Great to see this movie again after so many years. Ireland shook hands with many devils down the years. Not least Cromwell, Churchill and Lloyd George
IF the Irish had known Churchill Was a Closet HOMOSEXUAL the Irish would have won the War sooner.
Stuff the politics, this is a brilliant film and Cagney is brilliant and also the cast are to be congratulated on making a 1st class movie which was very controversial regarding the script. Brilliant Hollywood. Thank you
Troy Studios who made this film are based in Limerick Ireland.....so Hollywood had nothing to do with it.
I love old movies!!!
What a fantastic movie thanks for the upload :)
What a Great movie. Sadly the Irish fought amongst themselves after gaining independence from Britain.
Thank you, too, Mark Taylor-Canfield,.for your comments.
Dub, thanks for posting this-my Granda fought the Tans and Auxies in North Tipp-have a great St. Patrick's Day!
God Bless your Granda ,a long with all your family ! ❤️🙏🇨🇦
I enjoyed this old film and James Cagney was brilliant.
Good cast - even Sgt Wilson from Dad's Army. The Black and Tans were an obscenity - no film could possibly depict their atrocities in detail. The English have no right to be in Ireland. In WWl there was arguably military justification to stop the Germans landing there. Lloyd George and that disgusting piece of human garbage, Churchill, compelled Collins to accept a deal guaranteed to generate decades of misery.Not a bad movie to take on such a powerful, shameful and tragic subject.
how many people the ira killed and they still got into power thanks to the english
Well said, Willie.... many home truths like these need bringing into the light!!
riga mortus
Your'e talking about the ruling-class English. The ordinary English in the mills of Lancashire, Yorkshire and the Midlands, suffered as much as Irish people and the Scots during the Highland Clearances.
As to the mention of Lloyd George: he was a Welshman who called Hitler a man of peace AFTER he'd written Mein Kampf.
If the English ruling class, backed by the ruling classes elsewhere in Britain, hadn't suppressed the Irish there would not have been an IRA. They made the problem.
Also Ireland produced many proud Brits--Parnell's accuser, Captain O'Shea was a staunch Brit. When the US broke away from Britain, many US Irish Catholics moved to Canada to remain under the Crown. Most Southern Irish did not back home rule. The Black and Tans forced Ireland's hands to become nationalists. Parnell, Eamon Ceant, and Padraig Pearce were Irish Protestants of Englishs stock as were the leaders of the United Irish movement such as Emmet and Wolfe Tone and Napper Tandy. The first Irish nationalist, Jonathan Swift, was of English Protestant stock.
Real history, as opposed to film sterotypes, tells the truth.
Julie Horan As a Yorkshire man with Irish ancestry I can confirm that life was indeed grim for the working classes in the North but not as grim as conditions in Ireland. Lloyd George was - among other things - a consummate politician and recognised that Hitler did not want war with England - or anyone else and was simply restoring the land and dignity stolen by Versailles. WWll was Churchill's war or rather the war of his Zionist paymasters. He was their scaremongering mouthpiece.
The Jews - who declared war on Germany in the early 30s - had corrupted the social and institutional life of Germany and were being peacefully repatriated by the Germans. Hitler restored national pride to his people and cleaned up his country. He was not the first or only leader to expel Jews - England did it years before. I quote from Wiki:
"In 1290, King Edward I issued an edict expelling all Jews from England. The expulsion edict remained in force for the rest of the Middle Ages. The edict was not an isolated incident, but the culmination of over 200 years of increased persecution. Oliver Cromwell permitted Jews to return to England in 1657, over 350 years since their banishment by Edward I, in exchange for finance."
As for the repression of the barbarous English ruling class creating the IRA - they probably did. Well... it sort of justified their continuing presence there as 'peace keepers'.
willie otoole Assuming that you can read, where did you find this unmitigated piece of nonsense. Dear God, think for Christsakes.
Great film, ripe for a remake!
remakes never do justice.
15:20 That chilling moment when our hero discovers that his friend has two mickies .......the horror of the revelation plays out in the faces of the hero and old lady ...... but the younger girl takes a more measured view of things ..... I'd say she'd try anything once .......the flibbertigibbet.
Agreed
great film nicely paced and i think a very realistic portrayal of issues
Cagney plays yet another captivating and complex character. More movies like this one.
Good old rare film

loved it.. thanks
James Cagney, a brilliant actor in a brilliant role... First time ever hearing of this movie though...My one question (especially since I'm neither Irish or English) was Cagney's character portrayal that of a 'bad-good guy' or of a 'good bad guy'??? As the movie ends it had me questioning principles, mark of a great actor... good or bad Cagney was ruthless.... awesome old movie!!!
Mark of a good "WRITER" ................
awesome actors creating a timeless master piece for us to enjoy!! loaded with talent!!!❤🇺🇸😎✌
Truly a classic, worth watching.
Cagney gives one of his most memorable performance here as an idealist who starts out fighting for freedom, but becomes addicted to killing. We see this same tragedy played out all through history and even today in small wars all over the world.
I saw a little bit of this in the making - they filmed at Garda HQ in the Phoenix Park and a good crowd of people watched (at night) as they filmed a scene. I was too young to see the film when it came out, but remember the excitement of seeing actual film stars.
In fact, the Crown forces in the film were the Auxiliaries, not 'Black and Tans'.
It's a work of fiction but an astonishing movie nonetheless considering Hollywood didn't have much interest in the Irish or Ireland.
thanks for the upload❤✌
During this motion picture Flavor Flav was in charge of the fire Brigade and the judge he was really it needed in England at during that time lots of English production companies went with the flavor version of Flavor Flav
Good Cagney movie and an interesting primer of the Northern Ireland Troubles
for those who can learn about the topic. Young Richard Harris in this.
I'm kind of new to the scene and I'm starting to love black and white movies any suggestions
"gigity, gigity" great film, many thanks...
Brilliant movie...full of great screen stars of that era. The only thing that lets it down is the low upload resolution.
this was released in 1959 and director Michael Anderson also directed the 1956 versions of Around the World in 80 Days, which also starred Glynis Johns, and 1984 which also starred Michael Redgrave. also, in 1956 Don Murray co-starred with Marilyn Monroe in Bus Stop. also in 1956 Dana Wynter co-starred in The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. in 1955 Cagney starred in Mr. Roberts with Henry Fonda, Jack Lemmon and William Powell. this film was quite a pleasure. never seen before. thanks.
Wow.
Cagney didn’t over act. He was a better actor doing so.
Was this Richard Harris’s first movie?
Wish all of Ireland was Ireland.
What do you mean by:over act: boyo?
Harris's second movie...
The North don't want to be part of Eire.
@@frankwilkinson6328 Opinion is divided in the North...
A 1st time watch for me . Amazing riveting and very different .10/10
Around 47:50 nice bit of camera angle interpretation. This is a great film thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting ,great movie .
Thanks for uploading this superb and historic film, which has superb acting by the incomparable Cagney and a slew of other first rate actors. Just a brief history for those who are not familiar with it. This film depicts the battles in the first half of 1921, when Northern Ireland was under British martial law and roughly a thousand men were killed on both sides. The film ends on the eve of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, agreed to in mid 1921 and signed in December, wen the IRA was suffering tremendous casualties, while the British Govt. concluded it could not end the battle by military force, which led both sides to agree to a truce. It was followed by a civil war between the "Cagney" supporters who wanted to fight to the end, and the opponents. Those supporting the peace won, and things settled down pretty much until the 1960's when the internecine religious battle was re-ignited, until the Irish-British Catholic-Protestant war was finally brought to an end with the Good Friday Accord in 1998, which was negotiated by US President Bill Clinton and his Secretary of State George Mitchell, and which has thankfully stood the test of time ever since.
Excellent movie, great Cagney vehicle. Thanks
Great independance film. Glynys ours !. All actors fantastic. Thanks. Dave ( welshman )
thanks for this magic
"Cor Blimey" never knew that Steptoe's son had an Irish background !
Hello Heather, how are you doing and how is the weather with you
Excellent film 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 , I grew up in north Belfast during the 70s at the height of the troubles.
Excellent film. Thank you for posting it!
Thank you for the video
Just on a point of inaccuracy the Black and Tans were never stationed in Dublin, it was the Auxiliaries (ex British Army officers) and far more brutal then the Tans
These are Auxiliary Cadets in the movie.
Ok
Strong 7.5 out of 10
James Cagney is excellent as always!!
Great movie,good storyline and James Cagney tuff as ever , 😡🤗👏🏾🎭🎥🙋🏽
Great film
THANK YOU
for sharing
Hello Janet, how are you doing
8:08 aa DOVE the symbol of peace
Niall MacGinnis, as O'Leary looks like Paul" Goodfellas" Sorvino here...
You must mean Ray Liota not Paul Sorvino.
@@manueltubens7347 No, he means who he says. Look at his photo; he indeed looks a lot like Paul Sorvino: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niall_MacGinnis
Excellent Movie, Cast, Direction and Music Score by William Alwyn. I've always liked James Cagney's acting. Thanks. Out.
The narrator at the start of the movie is Eamon Andrew's the guy who hosted the famous " this is your life" on British tv
A hidden gem 💎 I just uncovered!❤
Does Cyril Cusack here remind anyone of Albert Reynolds?
The hangman or the politician?
@@brianmccarthy5557 ... former Taoiseach...
Americans should learn from this film; could easily happen to us all.
slowly is...
i'm glad i saw it. i was trying to figure out who the man was playing the main character. he also starred in "Bus Stop" with Marilyn...lanky cowboy
That was Don Murray. Reasonably big star in the late fifties and early sixties
Also a very good actor on stage, screen and occasionally TV.
Mr,cagney is the best actor i have ever seen,you put him in any role he make it his,
Brings out the Irishman in me
Brings out the revolutionary in me
a galaxy of stars in this old classic. even Steptoe at 17mins! tis a grand wee movie.
It's not Steptoe, it's his son (Harry H. Corbett)
Their surname was Steptoe. He was Harold Steptoe and his dad was Albert Steptoe. The rag and bone company was called Steptoe and son.
That was Richard Harris in a supporting role as the character who brought the pistol to the bar. Funny how recently I saw an interview on YT of him from years back and he mentioned the Black & Tan War (nothing about this movie) which I had not heard of so I looked it up. Sometimes movies can do more than entertain.
Great movie!!!!!!
