Walt Disney spins motion picture magic with a touch O’Blarney, a bit O’Romance, and a load O’Laughter! Darby O’Gill is the rascally old raconteur of Rathcullen, and though his tales seem tall, they’re about the littlest legends in Irish lore! When a strapping young Dubliner is hired to replace him as caretaker of the Fitzpatrick estate, Darby will play matchmaker for his daughter, while recruiting help from his friendly rival, the magical King of the Leprechauns.
“Darby O’Gill and the Little People is not only one of Disney’s best films, but is certainly one of the best fantasies ever put on film.” – Leonard Maltin
“Being a Disney product, it is as technically perfect a job as can be had: the Technicolor, the camera work, the special effects, the Irish music and all are a rich feast for anyone’s eye and ear.” – Charles Stinson, Los Angeles Times
