The Quare Fellow

Dublin’s Mountjoy Prison is abuzz in anticipation of an inmate’s pending execution, a convicted murderer known simply as “the quare fellow.” But as death looms over the prison walls, life on the inside can’t help but plod along. Patrick McGoohan co-stars as a prison guard learning the ropes amid a cloud of tragic duty and inevitability in this faithful adaptation of Brendan Behan’s stage play by the same name. Sylvia Syms co-stars.
