Memorable
I saw this movie on TV as a child, and the scenes of the banshee and the death coach scared and impressed me so much, I carried the memory of them all my life. When I was an adult and saw it on video, I was astonished to find that the scenes are STILL impressive and creepy! Considering how sophisticated special effects have become since ‘Darby O’Gill’ was made in 1959, that’s quite a tribute to the moviemaking skills of the day. The scenery is lovely, the actors skilful and wholeheartedly into their work, the music catchy and delightful, and really there’s nothing not to like in this movie. The duels between Darby and his nemesis, King Brian, are wonderfully funny, as each tries to outsmart the other. The village characters are all well-drawn and likeable personalities. Pony Sugrue seems more ‘American’ than the others, but then, he’s not supposed really to fit in in the village, and his punishment at the end is an enjoyable comeuppance. Favourite scenes – the banshee and death coach at the end, as mentioned, and all the leprechauns dancing under the fairy mountain then riding their little white horses out into the night as Darby plays them a wild tune on his fiddle. Don’t be put off by the date on this movie; it’s as good now as the day it was made.

Unanimously a favourite
Upon reading comments of earlier reviewers of this title, I find myself in an unusual situation…I totally agree with them all! This is a wonderful movie. And excellent for all ages (except maybe for very small children due to the banshee scenes).

I’m very impressed with the effects considering when this was made. Almost flawless! And the story is so delightful and engaging, I can’t imagine anyone not getting a lift from this hour-and-a-half of leprechaun fantasy.

Sean Connery is a little weak on the singing, but it certainly doesn’t detract from the movie.

I’ve had this movie on VHS since way back, but recently I upgraded to a DVD. There are some interesting supplemental items on the DVD: Including a ‘making-of’ that explain the effects; And there is a “Wonderful World of Disney” excerpt with Darby O’Gill, King Brian, & Walt Disney that’s cute.

I was surprised how much my teenage boys liked this movie. Usually they are too ‘cool’ to watch ‘kids’ movies (as they call them). And they were stodgy at first, but soon they were totally enrapt.

This is one of the best family movies I’ve seen. Get this one and hold onto it because they just don’t make em like this anymore.
