Brady's Bargain


Drawing on films such as Darby O'Gill and The Little People and Finian's Rainbow, this short sends up traditional Irish stereotypes, combining the legends of the 'fairy folk' with the trademark , B-movie stylings of The Spence Brothers. The result? A World Amateur Film of The Year. Shot on location in various County Down locations, including Downpatrick and the Mournes.
