Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cahill was so notorious that John Boorman's acclaimed 'The General' (1998) beat this TV movie to release by mere months.
The real Cahill was assassinated by the UVF in 1994; he'd famously hidden from tax authorities by living in a caravan with his wife AND his wife's sister.
