Product Description
Darby O'Gill (Albert Sharpe) is a man with the Irish gift of gab who finds himself face-to-face with the magical little people, the leprechauns, in an underestimated Disney classic. Unexpectedly, one of the old storyteller's tall tales comes true when he captures the King of the Leprechauns, who must grant him three wishes. Unfortunately, all the wishes backfire in amusing, and sometimes frightening, ways. This classic family film features the era's cutting edge special effects and beautiful Irish scenery.

Purportedly one of Walt Disney's most personal pet projects, Darby O'Gill shows the effort and care put into it. Even now the special effects hold up shockingly well. Darby O'Gill is an estate caretaker, but in his advanced years he's more fond of telling tall tales in the local pub about the wee folk than keeping the grounds. A new man (a very youthful Sean Connery) is sent in to take his place, and O'Gill doesn't know what will become of himself and his daughter. He snags three spectacular opportunities, however, when he catches the king of the leprechauns. This film is whimsical without being silly, supernatural without being outlandish, and all and all a treat for the whole family. --Keith Simanton

 Beware the Banshee... November 11, 2009
graywolf (southwestern CT.)
My brother and I watched this movie when it was aired on television in the sixties. It was a good movie, and we were having a great old time, drinking sodas in our p.j.s while our parents got dressed upstairs for a night out. But when that Banshee came wailing onto the screen, my brother and I simultaneously dropped our soda bottles and let out stereo screams, almost as blood-curdling as the Banshee's wail, as we raced up the stairs to the safety of the lights and our parents. To this day I remember how petrified we were by that image! Of course nowadays, such a reaction seems absurd, but back then, in the feverish dream world of childhood, such relatively low-tech cinematography was the height of REALISTIC TERROR! I have discussed this movie with many people around the same age as me, and they ALL RECALL the AWFUL SIGHT AND SCREECH OF THE BANSHEE!
