James & Janice Monaghan

In Ireland, the word 'quare' has also come to be used in a context that means 'remarkable' (e.g. 'That's a quare day' or 'she's a quare singer'). The film was shot in Kilmainham Gaol, Dublin. Some amazing films made here - 'The Face of Fu Manchu' & The Italian Job - it became infamous for the executions of the leaders of the Irish uprising  in 1916. Janice & I visited Kilmainham  some few years ago & paid our respects - thanks to our Dublin friends. Of course Patrick McGoohan worked his way to the top as Governor in the film Alcatraz. This film goes right to your bones & full of compassion. For those who like Irish literature the prison officer Reagan was played by Walter Macken who almost steals the film. Sylvia Sims is wonderful - I have some books signed by her - I fell in love with her in Ice Cold in Alex - thank you Janice. Some great films on Flick Vault.
