Captain Boycott (1947)

21 Feb

92m; Ireland

Director: Frank Launder

Cast: Stewart Granger, Kathleen Ryan and Cecil Parker

Synopsis (NYT): Briskly, this “Captain Boycott” tells us how tenant farmers in Parnell’s Irish Land League resisted an outrageously haughty landowner, Captain Boycott by name, with a technique of non-cooperation when he persisted in bleeding them for rents, and how this treatment, in the end, was more effective than an advocated plan of violence.
