Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe only thing carried over from Behan's play is the bleakness.
User Review - 6/10 by Ashley HThe Quare Fellow is a decent film. It is about Thomas Crimmins is a new warder in an Irish prison. Patrick McGoohan and Walter Macken give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Arthur Dreifuss did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama.
