5.0 out of 5 stars Lost Sister of the Quiet Man, December 13, 2005

By	P. M Simon "El Simon Asombroso" (New Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Maurice Walsh, long endeared to readers for Irish classic The Quiet Man, also wrote an endearing tale set in the Scottish Highlands: TROUBLE IN THE GLEN.

For some reason, the brilliant, funny, and endearing TROUBLE has largely been lost to time, rarely carried by video houses and not out on DVD. If you get a VHS copy, you'll have to endure scratchy sound and bad color--but it's well-worth it.

Orson Welles is a belligerent Argentine descendent of Highland lairds, returned to take up the title, and hating every second of it. His tirade against bagpipes and the Scottish brogue at the beginning is worth the price of this tape! Although he's a bit silly made up to look like a tanned Scotsman, his performance in right on key!

As Welles cracks down on locals to defend his property rights, he comes into conflict with burly Victor McLaglen, head of a clan of tinks, and with Forrest Tucker, a US airman, returned to see a handicapped girl he knew from the war years.

No, there's no brawl scene to match QUIET MAN, nor a soundtrack that engaging, but there's also no glossing over of life in the rural Celtic country.

A witty, touching and refreshing film, TROUBLE is one you'll watch again and again.
