Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This film spun off from a Thames Television sitcom that ran 1967-1971, capturing a very specific moment of working-class Jewish-Irish London coexistence rarely depicted on screen.

Trivia

Joe Lynch (Patrick) later became a legendary figure in Irish entertainment; this was his only major film lead. The Vatican reportedly never commented.
