Wildly Popular in Its Time

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2020)

The book on which the film is based, the film itself, and the soundtrack were hugely popular after the movie was released, with some of the film's actors still touring years afterwards. This comedy drama set in Dublin tells the story of "the world's hardest working band" as it struggles to bring soul music to the people of the city. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
