Film Synopsis
County Cork, Ireland, 1920. As the Irish War of Independence
rages around them, Sir Richard and Lady Naylor continue to enjoy a
harmonious and comfortable life on their vast country estate, in the
company of their niece Lois, nephew Laurence and various
houseguests. Lois is amusing herself with a tentative romance
with a British officer when she is reacquainted with a childhood
friend, who is in hiding after killing a solider...
It was American film noir and pulp fiction that kick-started the craze for thrillers in 1950s France and made it one of the most popular and enduring genres.
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
