Date/Time and Place of Event
Originally produced by First Run Features in 1988.
Description
Brendan Behan's life can be divided into 3 parts: his youthful years in an English jail for his activities on behalf of the I.R.A.; his writing, drawn largely from his experiences as a prisoner; and his prodigious boozing, which resulted in his death in 1963 at the age of 41.

Allan Miller's affecting documentary tells Behan's story through the people who knew him best - his wife, brothers, I.R.A. comrades and fellow drinkers in the Dublin pubs, where he seemed most at home. Their recollections sketch a portrait of a wild Irishman, a storyteller and a lair, who was not able to communicate until he'd had a drink - or three.
