The Rising of the Moon 1957
Filmed in the Emerald Isle, the film links three short‑story vignettes of rural Irish life. In “The Majesty of the Law,” a police officer arrests an old‑fashioned man, yet the village sides with him. “One Minute’s Wait” sketches comic moments at a tiny train station as passengers come and go. “1921” follows a nationalist’s daring escape.
