Doug I remember "Man Of Aran" being advertised in an old mag somewhere so I had a look through old Movie Maker and Film Making came across it in a Film to buy and Hire 1979 list, that came with Oct 79 issue of "Film Making" it was a { PM.B} release not sure what the B stands for, although not stating the length pretty sure it was a 600ft, lately that very film came up on our local internet site but I wasen't allowed to buy it although the film was staged, the people in the film were real islanders not actors and they did endure hardship living on those barren islands, one scene that I thought dangerous was the young kid fishing from the edge of a very high cliff, how he cast his line and pulled it in was amazing, and this is how they really did it, a fascinating film to watch, the huge waves pounding those cliffs reminded me of the David Lean film "Ryan's Daughter" the storm also filmed on the west coast of Ireland.

PS Its amazing the effect films can have on you when you are young, my son was upset when we once watched the Super8 release of King Kong, seeing how Kong was treated and killed really upset him, and even to this day he will never watch it, I got rid of the print.
