Professor Popinjay's Compendium of Perspicacity

(1952)

A Non-Review by Professor Popinjay

You want to see a dang good movie? I don’t care who you are or what you’re into. You could be a dude of 30, a woman of 22, a lady of 12, a child of 67, or a class of 2000, you will love this movie.

This is a clash of pride. One man who is in no need of money must demand his wife’s inheritance from her elder brother to save her own pride. Older brother is not keen on just handing her inheritance over to someone he didn’t approve of in the first place. Meanwhile, the husband is not too keen on even asking for it. But when the Mrs wants her pride, you don’t always have to get it, you just have to go and get it. The answer? A fist fight to end all fist fights from one side of Ireland to the other.

If you’re not into John Wayne and you hate westerns then this is the perfect movie for you because it’s not John Wayne and it’s not a Western. Okay, it is John Wayne. I’m sorry I lied. But it’s definitely NOT a Western. It’s a whatever a movie that takes place in Ireland is called.

Be forewarned: There’s some cheavanism and some flippant remarks about what would amount to domestic abuse but none that actually happens. They make a great couple because they don’t put up with each other’s crap! They have well established boundaries.
