The Playboys (1992)
Country: GB/US/EIRE
Technical: Technicolor 109m
Director: Gillies MacKinnon
Cast: Albert Finney, Aidan Quinn, Robin Wright
Synopsis:
A provincial Irish girl in the 1950s courts censure by having a child out of wedlock, but all the men desire her hand, including the local policeman and a travelling player.
Review:
Sugar-coated piece of period whimsy, with an excessively blustering Finney and posterboy Quinn vying for the favours of the single mother who in real life would have been coerced into an institution and her child taken from her, and whom the mountebank would not have given a second look.
