I watched 'Shake Hands with the Devil' today on TV. It's a 1959 film directed by Michael Anderson, set in 1921 Dublin, where the Irish Republican Army battles the Black and Tans, ex-British soldiers sent to suppress the rebels. It stars James Cagney (brilliant as always) who moonlights as an IRA commander in this above-average historical drama voted one of the 15 Best Political Films of All Time.
