Brenda Fricker's bravura performance drives this moving romantic drama. She plays a farmer's unlucky-in-love daughter who hopes to find a beau at the local dance hall. Having tried for years with no success, she decides the next weekend will be her last, but she's holding out hope that the clueless lad she has her eye on will take notice of her. Cyril Cusack, John Kavanagh. Directed by Pat O'Connor, who cowrote the script with William Trevor, upon whose short story the film is based.
