Isildurs Bane Review of The Quare Fellow

The Quare Fellow (1962)

Not much like the play

[6/10 · 5 December 2001]

I made the mistake of expecting this film to be pretty faithful to Brendan Behan's play. Instead the moviemakers added so much as to lose very much the play's essence. I gave the movie a 6, because what they did do was decent otherwise. But please, go watch the play live or else read it.
