I've stumbled across this piece of Black & White gold whilst I was on vacation in Buenos Aires of all places. Regardless, this is a mock opera-film, based on the ballad "The Night That Larry Was Stretched" , made in 1965 starring Ronnie Drew and the Dubliners.
Apparently due to budget issues, the film was never completed and was kinda left to rest, till somewhere around 1996 yer man Sé Merry Doyle kinda restored it back to life.
Ronnie Drew, plays Larry, a cheeky troubadour-burglar who is up to no-good and a bit blinded by the Beaver. This leads him to get caught by the popo(oohh sheeet)who are energetically pursuing Larry's trail of kleptomania.
I'm not going to give away the film, though i hate being a teasing whore.
On the technical aspect the film is precious. The editing is pure class, handmade beauty, man. The opening credits are a lesson in witty and charming artistry.
The rhythm of the film is spot on, especially if your into Ronnie Drew breaking into a song quite often.
You can watch the film on youtube, and leave a thumbs up to the person who uploaded it. My sincere thanks, this film is pure class.
