Falling for a Dancer

Colin Farrell?s fast-track to stardom began when he dropped out of drama school in Dublin and rode a horse bare-back into Ballykissangel.

It’s the 1930s in rural Ireland and Elizabeth Sullivan, who’s not yet 20, finds herself pregnant after a romantic encounter with a charming itinerant actor. Forced by her father into loveless marriage to a widowed farmer, Elizabeth’s lot is bleak. While the scenery is mesmerizing, the drudgery of farm life, an abusive husband and a trio of glum stepdaughters make happiness far out of reach. But hope - and true love - may be on the horizon. Co-stars Elisabeth Dermot-Walsh (Bertie and Elizabeth) and Colin Farrell (Minority Report). About 3 1⁄2 hours on 2 DVDs.
