Tales From the Kingdom

Maurice Walsh - early life in Kerry (1x5)

Fecha de emisión: Mar 08, 2009

Ballydonoghue author Maurice Walsh, who penned 'The Quiet Man,' is the focus of the fifth programme in the series. Although the movie went on to win two Oscars and remains a perennial television favourite, Walsh was paid only a small fee for the rights and rarely spoke of the movie. This programme looks at his early life in Kerry, his career as a customs officer and his eventual emergence as a renowned writer.
