Da
Hugh Leonard's autobiographical play of growing up adopted in a small sea-coast town in Ireland. The film version is directed by character actor Matt Clark. Barnard Hughes is the lovable and crusty title character with whom son Martin Sheen has many mixed emotions. A ghost story; a comedy; a celebration of life.
