1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: This Day in History Class is a production of iHeartRadio, 2 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: Hello and Welcome to This Day in History Class, a 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: show that chases the rainbow of history every day of 4 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: the week. I'm Gabe Blusier, and on this Saint Patrick's Day, 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: we're tipping our hat to a lesser known Disney classic, 6 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: but feels right at home with the holiday. The day 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: was March seventeenth, nineteen fifty eight, production began on the 8 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: live action Disney film Darby o. Gill and the Little People. 9 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: Walt Disney had always wanted to make a movie about 10 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: Ireland and its folklore, lepre cons in particular. He began 11 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: developing one as early as nineteen forty five, and even 12 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: traveled to Ireland with a team of artists to gather 13 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: background material. Years later, while promoting Darby o. Gill, Walt 14 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: explained his fascination, saying, quote being half Irish myself, I 15 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,839 Speaker 1: learned about the Leprekns of Ireland while I was still 16 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: a small boy on our farm at Marcelline, Missouri. I 17 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: began to believe in Leprekns then, because some of my 18 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: relatives had pretty convincing stories to tell about the magic 19 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: powers of these little people and the tricks they could 20 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: play when angry. Looking back, Walt's sudden claim to Irish 21 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: heritage seems a bit opportunistic, coming up only during the 22 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: publicity tour for his Very Irish film. However, his declaration 23 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: was rooted in truth, as his great grandfather, A Rundel 24 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: Elias Disney had immigrated to the US from Kilkenny, Ireland 25 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: in eighteen twenty three. That said, Disney didn't make a 26 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: movie about Leprekons solely to honor his family history. He 27 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: also recognized there was a built in audience for such 28 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: a film, namely Irish Americans. The intention to target that 29 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: democra graphic was made clear in a nineteen fifty nine 30 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: internal document from Disney's publicity department. When describing the plans 31 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: for the film's release, it says, quote, Unlike previous campaigns, 32 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: Darbio Gill will have a ready made market potential of 33 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: twenty million Irish Americans. Special attention will be paid to 34 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: these people with shamrocks in their eyes. Their numbers alone 35 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: could carry the picture to big box office earnings. By 36 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: nineteen forty eight, Walt had decided to base his film 37 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,279 Speaker 1: on the Darbio Gill stories. Of Irish children's author Hermione 38 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: Templeton Cavanagh. Initially he planned to make a fully animated adaptation, 39 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: but by the end of the film's decade long development 40 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: process it had morphed into an all live action affair. 41 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: The change was largely inspired by the studio's recent success 42 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: with live action family films such as twenty Thousand Leagues 43 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: Under the Sea, Johnny Tremaine and Old Yeller. With the 44 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: help of some clever special effects, Disney would be able 45 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: to depict all the magic of Irish legends and live action, 46 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: and most importantly, he'd be able to do it on 47 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: a faster schedule and for much less money than if 48 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: he'd gone the animated route. Disney had the perfect director 49 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: for the job, too, British born filmmaker Robert Stephenson, the 50 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: man behind the highly acclaimed and highly traumatic Old Yeller. 51 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: Stevenson would go on to make many more Disney classics, 52 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: including nineteen sixty ones The Absent Minded Professor and nineteen 53 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: sixty four's Mary Poppins, but Darby O'Gill was a more 54 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: personal film for Stevenson. He was of Irish descent on 55 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: his mother's side and was well versed in leprekn lore. 56 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 1: In fact, Stephenson said that his grandmother would routinely leave 57 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: out a tiny jug of milk for any little people 58 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: who happened to pass by. She also kept a bucket 59 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: of water nearby, just in case any of the tiny 60 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: pranksters tried to play a trick on her. Because, of course, 61 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: as Stevenson explained, leprecons hate water, even for drinking. With 62 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: the film's medium decided, the script locked and the director 63 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: in place, Darby O'Gill and the Little People officially went 64 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: into production on Saint Patrick's Day, nineteen fifty eight. For 65 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: the uninitiated, the movie tells the story of Darby O'Gill, 66 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: the elderly caretaker of a grand estate owned by the 67 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: often absent Lord Fitzpatrick. A mischievous charmer with the gift 68 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: of gab, Darby often neglects his duties in favor of 69 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 1: telling tall tales about little people down at the local pub. However, 70 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: he's forced to take his job more seriously when a 71 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: young man named Michael McBride is sent to replace him. 72 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: He keeps that development a secret from his fiery daughter Katie, 73 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: but stumbles upon a possible solution when he manages to 74 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: capture Brian Connors, the real life King of the leprecons. 75 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: The King agrees to grant Darby three wishes in exchange 76 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: for his release, but the deal is complicated by the 77 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: bickering duo's repeated attempts to outwit each other. Will Darby 78 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: keep his job, Will King Brian keep his promise? Will 79 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: Katie and Michael fall in love? It's a Disney movie, 80 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: so you can probably guess. But the path to those 81 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 1: resolutions is so delightful and endearing that it's absolutely worth 82 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: the trip. Predictable or not. Walt Disney originally wanted Barry 83 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald for the title role of Darby. However, that venerable 84 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: Irish star of the stage and screen was semi retired 85 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: by the late nineteen fifties and ultimately declined the offer, 86 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: so instead Walt turned to another veteran Irish actor, Albert Sharp. 87 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: He too was retired by the time Darby O'Gill went 88 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: into production, but he was such a fan of the 89 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: character and of Walt Disney that he agreed to come 90 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: out of retirement just to play the role. It's a 91 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: good thing he did, too, because Sharpe's portrayal equal parts 92 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: warm and wiley, is really the soul of the movie. 93 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 1: No matter how zany the story gets, Sharp's Darby keeps 94 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: the whole thing grounded, even when he's interacting with magical 95 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: knee high characters. Despite being fairly accurate in its depictions 96 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: of Irish myths and rural village life, Darby O'Gill was 97 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: shot entirely in California. Walt had briefly considered filming in Ireland, 98 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: but decided against it for budgetary reasons. In the end, 99 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: most of the exterior scenes were filmed at various movie 100 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: ranches throughout the Hollywood area, while the fictional village of 101 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: Rathcullen was built on a sound stage on Disney's studio 102 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: backlot in Burbank. The finished movie does include some second 103 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: unit footage shot in Ireland, which was later combined with 104 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: matt paintings by legendary artist Peter Ellenshaw to help sell 105 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: the illusion of nineteenth century Ireland. At one point in 106 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: the film's development, the twenty one inch high Leprechns were 107 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: going to be animated characters, which would allow them to 108 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: exist within the same frame as the live action sets 109 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: and actors. The final production took a different approach, though, 110 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: with the Leprecns being portrayed by real human actors as well. 111 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: The extreme height difference between the characters was achieved through 112 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: the use of forced perspective, a technique that alters the 113 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: viewer's perception of scale, making objects within a shot appear larger, smaller, farther, 114 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: or closer than they truly are. Let's use the movie's 115 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: most impressive sequence as an example. It takes place in 116 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: King Brian's throne room, deep within the Leprecon's secret cavern. There, Darby, 117 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: an average sized human, manically plays his fiddle while dozens 118 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: of Leprecons dance and cavort and ride tiny horses all 119 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: around him. Peter Ellenshaw and his special effects team were 120 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: able to seamlessly mix Darby and the Leprecns by blending 121 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: together two different shots, one in which Albert Sharpe was 122 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: positioned on a regular size set closer to the camera, 123 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: and one in which the LEPrecon players performed on an 124 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: oversize set with massive props four times further away from 125 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: the camera. Because two D cameras don't distinguish the true 126 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: distance between objects, the actors appear to be right next 127 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: to each other when the shots are overlaid. Of course, 128 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: that illusion required a lot of mathematical precision to determine 129 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: just the right perspective lines. Thankfully, that turned out to 130 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: be a piece of cake for the film's director, According 131 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: to Ellenshaw, quote being a mathematician and an extremely intelligent 132 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: man who used to read books on quantum theories and such, 133 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: it was quite simple for Bob to work out the 134 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,199 Speaker 1: differences in perspective that we were playing with. Of course, 135 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: there's more to Darby Ogill than special effects and comedy. 136 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: It's got a fair bit of romance as well. The 137 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: couple at its center is Darby's daughter Katie O'Gill and 138 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: the replacement caretaker, Michael McBride. After an extensive casting tour 139 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: of Ireland in the UK, Walt Disney personally selected janetman 140 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: Rowe and Sean Connery for the roles. It was the 141 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: American film debut for both young actors, and it was 142 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: a somewhat difficult one for Connery as it called for 143 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: the Scottish actor to sing a duet with his co star. 144 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: It was later reported that Robert Stephenson considered dubbing another 145 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: singer over Connery's voice, but he ultimately decided against it. 146 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: I think he made the right choice and that Monroe's 147 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: voice more than makes up for Connery's shortcomings as a singer. 148 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: But hey, you can decide for yourself. Here's a clip 149 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: from Pretty Irish Girl. Oh she is my dear my 150 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: Darland won her eyes so sparkling, full of fun, No wander, 151 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: no wand can match the likes of her. Oh he 152 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 1: is my dear my darling. One his eyes so sparkling, 153 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: full of fun. No no, all that can match the 154 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: likes of him. Here's one. I love the gran my eye. 155 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: That recording was pretty much the start and end of 156 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: Sean Connery's singing career, but his performance in Darby O'Gill 157 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: actually helped his acting career quite a bit. According to Connery, 158 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: James Bond producer Albert Broccoli watched all kinds of films 159 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: while searching for the right actor to play the secret 160 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: agent Darby O'Gill and The Little People turned out to 161 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: be one of them, and when Connery came on screen, 162 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: Broccoli knew he had found his Bond. Jimmy o'd aka 163 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: King Brian was another actor who had hoped to use 164 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: Darby as a springboard to other Hollywood projects. He had 165 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: certainly earned the exposure after spending five months shooting tedious, 166 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: forced perspective scenes in a foreign country. Unfortunately, the beloved 167 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: Irish actor was denied his chance at international stardom due 168 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: to the film's rather unusual publicity campaign. Walt Disney thought 169 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: it would be fun to pretend that the Leprecons in 170 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: his movie were the real deal. He published all kinds 171 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: of material detailing the little people's involvement in the filmmaking, 172 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: including doctored photos of the Leprecons attending the movie's world 173 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: premiere in Dublin. If that weren't enough, Walt even produced 174 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: an episode of his anthology TV show in which he 175 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: traveled to Ireland to meet both Darby O'Gill and King Brian, 176 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: titled I Captured the King of the Leprecons. The behind 177 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: the scenes special claimed to show how Walt convinced the 178 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: real life little people to fly to Hollywood and appear 179 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: in his movie. Here's a clip good aiming your honor. 180 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: I brought mister Disney to see you, Sir Disney. I've 181 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: heard of the dailies, the Toppies, the tune Uns the 182 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: deb LUN's the Darnies, But Disney No, I don't know 183 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: any Disney, so good night tun Disney's fantasy was maintained 184 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: even in the film's opening credits, where an on screen 185 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: notice said, quote, my thanks to King Brian of knock 186 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: Nashiga and his leprechons, whose gracious cooperation made this picture possible, 187 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: Signed Walt Disney. Unfortunately, Disney carried things a bit too 188 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: far by leaving Jimmy o'dee's name off the film entirely 189 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 1: on screen, King Brian is credited as having played himself, 190 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: a concession to the idea that there were real leprechns 191 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 1: in the movie. Darby Ogill and the Little People began 192 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: production on Saint Patrick's Day, but it was actually released 193 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: in the middle of summer. The movie's world premiere took 194 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: place in Dublin, Ireland on June twenty fourth, nineteen fifty nine, 195 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: and two days later it held its American premiere at 196 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Reviews for the film were 197 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: mostly positive, though it was only a modest success at 198 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: the box office. Those twenty million people with shamrocks in 199 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: their eyes never materialized. Plenty of research went into the 200 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: making of Darby Ogill, and for the most part, Ireland 201 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: and its traditions and legends are portrayed with respect and affection. 202 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: That the movie does included share of ugly Irish stereotypes, 203 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: many of which are personified by the film's antagonist, a drunken, 204 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: violent bully named Pony Sue Grew. At the time of 205 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: its release, though the public's main complaint, at least in 206 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: the US, was that they couldn't understand the character's Irish accents. 207 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: In response, Disney re released the film in nineteen sixty 208 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: four with many of the actors voices dubbed over, including 209 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: those of Albert Sharp and Jimmy O'd. I bring this 210 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: up because that dubbed version is the one that's most 211 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: accessible today, readily available for streaming on Disney Plus. The 212 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: service includes a content warning for the Irish stereotypes, but 213 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: there's no mention of the dubbing, which many might find 214 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: even more offensive. If that sounds like you, then I 215 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: recommend tracking down a copy of the movie on DVD 216 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: or Blu Ray, where the original nineteen fifty nine soundtrack 217 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: is still intact. Irish Brogue and all. I'm Gabe Bluesier 218 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: and hopefully you now know a little more about history 219 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: today than you did yesterday.
