Description

Rankin-Bass are responsible for several classics, from The Hobbit and The Last Unicorn to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. This is not one of them. No, it's twee Stage Irish nonsense with Americans doing terrible accents, and a complete misunderstanding what a banshee (bean sí) is. Also, apparently St. Patrick is a leprechaun. Whatever. Starring Art Carney, Peggy Cass, Bob McFadden, Ken Jennings (not that Ken Jennings), and Christine Mitchell. Written by Romeo Muller, and directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.

Sure, the 1980s were a great decade for film. But have you seen all of them? No, neither has Mary. In fact, some pretty big films passed her by, what with being in kindergarten at the time: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Moonstruck, My Neighbor Totoro... So it's time to fix that. Artwork, opening and closing themes by Dennis Lingg Produced and edited by Mary Jones
