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 Easter 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 Regan 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.

@AMT Calling out plagiarism does not make one a rude arrogant wanker. HOW one calls it out might. Rude? I suppose a bit, yes. But that's not as bad as being a thief. Arrogant? Arrogance is "an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilites." I don't think I said anything about my importance or ability. I only pointed out the O.P.'s offense. A wanker? Wankerism is in the eye of the beholder. Which really just means that the word is so vague as to have no clearly definable meaning. It speaks much more of the person who perceives someone as a wanker than it does of the person accused of being a wanker. If you consider me a wanker, I'm comfortable with that.

A powerful drama. This was Brendan Behan's first play, published in 1954 and still considered to be one of his best works. The prison scenes were filmed in Kilmainham prison, in Dublin, which was decommissioned almost a 100 years ago. Now a preserved monument, it became infamous for the executions of the leaders of the Irish uprising in 1916. A good upload except for the sound that could be better.

The Quare Fellow is a Dublin expression that was used to refer to someone slightly odd, for example if there was someone in a workplace who kept to themselves more than most, or else was louder than most, something distinctive, then people might use a phrase such as 'Is the quare fella in yet?', similar to 'is head-the-ball in yet?' although the latter would suggest more of an oddball.

[@brianmccarthy5557]

Written by the Irish poet Brendan Behan who drank himself to death shirtly after this film was made. Behan had been put into the English juvenile prison system, a "Borstal", for active service IRA activities in the late 1940's/rmearly 1950's. He wrote the play "The Borstal Boy" about it. So he did have some experience with the criminal justice system, though he was a political prisoner, other than being booked into the drunk tank. "Quare fella" in Irish did not refer to sexual orientation at all when this play was written. It just means someone with odd or unusual behavior, or an eccentric, or someone you don't quite understand. I have this on direct authority from a very close friend of Behan. We met when he gave a very small (perhaps a dozen people) performance of his one act monologue play on Behan, he played Behan, in the late 1970's at the student recreation center at UCLA. He was a double of Behan, who I was familiar with from seeing videotapes of him reading his work and being interviewed on TV. My Irish grandparents had several of his works. We talked at length over a beer after the performance (can't remember how I got the beer since I was still well under 21). He showed me lots of pictures from an album he kept of himself and Behan hanging around together in Dublin. We talked since I was the only person there actually familiar with Ireland and Behan. At that point the male homosexual community was just beginning to appropriate the term "gay" from its standard American usage of "happy". He had to clear up the confusion for a liberal LA audience. They also didn't quite understand him when he also told them to "feck off". Irish often requires a translation, even though it seens like English. Sometimes it's actually Gaelic sentences with English words inserted as rough approximations. Behan loved doing this. I doubt that most non-Irish or non-traditional Irish Americans will completely understand the play/movie without some translation or background.

[@brianmccarthy5557]

This is very strange. I just noted that the writer is supposedly so.e Jewish guy and the film is by a Jewish director, though filmed in Ireland with largely Irish actors. Yet I know this is a Brendan Behan work. How did it get misappropriated, or am I losing my mind? Given the events of the last week, 01/06/21, perhaps I have an excuse.

[@johnguilfoil7218]

The River Liffey, the Customs House and O'Connell Street are an obvious give-away to Dublin, even to a devout Englishman!! But the references to the Governor and Mr Regan being imprisoned and gaining kudos during 'the Troubles' (early Twenties) are more subtle but still make the point! Incidentally, the Kilmainham jail was used in the Hammer Movies 'The Face of Fu Manchu' (1965) where Fu Manchu is apparently executed in the exercise yard in the opening scene.

Brendan Behan and Dylan Thomas spent the fifties competing with each other to see who could get the drunkest whilst still being able to recite their own poetry.

Every actress turned us down because they didn’t approve of the theme or content of the film. But Sylvia Syms came to us very late and started right in without any preconditions and for that I and ( Basil Dearden) will never forget her”!!! Sylvia passed away in January 2023 a couple of weeks after her 89 th birthday. Watch Victim if you have a chance it is a landmark film in British Cinema History.
