Paddy Chayevsky's script explores the dark night of the soul for Charlie Samson (Don Murray) as he struggles with the increasing responsibilities of married life.

James Cagney, Don Murray, Dana Wynter, Michael Redgrave, Glynis Johns, Cyril Cusack; directed by Michael Anderson (1959, 111 min)  Digital *Separate discounted admission.

An alternately brooding and violent tale of "the Troubles"—the Irish Civil War in the early 1920s—features Don Murray as a student who becomes embroiled in the increasingly bellicose actions of a charismatic revolutionary (James Cagney). Cinematographer Erwin Hillier is the real star of the film, providing consistently evocative images that strikingly capture the volatile atmosphere.
