The life of Darby O'Gill, an ambitious man that suffers from having a miserable life, who after being fired out from his work, returns home with heavy heart, has been turned upside down, when he meets a leprechaun, who helps him to have three wishes.
For those of a sentimental turn, there is the delight of watching young Connery romancing the ineffably wholesome Janet Munro, a couple of years before things turned nasty for Commander Bond at Crab Key with the somewhat more knowing Ursula Andress.
I have to admit that by the second or third time I saw leprechauns depicted as magical by speeding up the film, I was hoping for someone to show up with a gun.
