Irish and Proud of It is a 1936 British-Irish comedy film directed and co-written by Donovan Pedelty and starring Richard Hayward, Dinah Sheridan and Liam Gaffney.[1] In the film, a popular London-based Irish singer announces one evening how much he would love to go home to his home village in rural Ireland. For a prank, some of his friends take him up on this offer. He is kidnapped and deposited on a wild moor. He returns to the village of his youth, slightly disorientated, and battles an American gangster who has taken control of the settlement.
It was made at Wembley Studios as a quota quickie for release by the British subsidiary of Paramount Pictures.[2]
