Happy St. Patrick's Day!

David Lean's 1970 film "Ryan's Daughter" airs today on TCM at 10:45 pm PT as part of their St. Patrick's Day ode to Irish films. It stars ROBERT MITCHUM as an Irish schoolmaster who takes a much younger bride (Sarah Miles) who soon falls for a British officer. The film, which is set in 1916, is loosely based on Gustave Flaubert's novel Madame Bovary. John Mills won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the film and Freddie Young won a Best Cinematography Oscar.
