Looking at the Amazon listing and all of the usual Amazon "...if you liked this, check this out..." links, I see that Finlay Currie must have been in every movie made anywhere near Scotland in the 1950's. This puts him on the same level then as Morgan Freeman seems to be at now. When do/did these guys sleep?
It is fascinating, though, to see that you can also get "The Fighting Prince of Donegal" as well...although it looks like the DVD of "The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh" (Patrick McGoohan...oh yeah!) is in the works and you have to get on the pre-order list.
I'm going to transcribe the back of the box they show on Amazon. Forgive me if there is any mispellings, it was pretty hard to read. Also there were two words that I just couldn't make out.
