This review is from: Luck of Ginger Coffey [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"The Luck of Ginger Coffey" stars real-life couple Robert Shaw and Mary Ure as Irish immigrants in Montreal. A simple story of luck, love and tough times, Shaw especially gives a phenomenal performance as the somewhat escapist Coffey. Though the film's sound quality is somewhat lacking (you can't even understand the French Canadians speaking English!) this is an excellent film for students and fans of Shaw.
