Screen Two: All Things Bright and Beautiful (BBC-2 1994, Tom Wilkinson, Gabriel Byrne)

Posted by By Alastair James November 9, 2018 TV

Tom Wilkinson, Gabriel Byrne and Kevin McNally star in this lyrical Irish TV movie set in County Tyronne, Northern Ireland, in 1954 – the year the Pope has dedicated to the devotion of the Blessed virgin Mary.

Grottos spring up in her honor across the country, except in Eglish where the appearance of a mysterious stranger heralds a vision of the Virgin herself.
