Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú

This 1969 documentary follows life in one of the last of the Irish road-shows "Existence as portable as the props, Travelling light, living in transit, always thinking of that next town just ahead." The first Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú NI documentary in colour, entertainers portrayed in this film are a rapidly dying breed, and are possibly the last surviving family in Ireland to dispense a nightly three-hour brew of blood and thunder melodrama. The Courtneys play in a wooden and canvas booth and their audience sits on benches on the grass to watch such dramas as East Lynne, Murder in the Old Red Barn, and The Caryl Chessman Story.
