Review of Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959) by Jason V — 27 Jun 2012
Inconsequential Disney. Darby O'Gill doesn't come up in any list of Disney classics or fondly remembered films from the studio. Why? It's a little fantasy designed to cash in on a culture instead of telling a quality story.
The biggest hurdle for the family audience is the thick accents of the main cast, while the somewhat plodding story tends to be an issue as well. It's not a badly made movie; it's just "meh.
" The forced perspective shots of the leprechauns, though, is a treat.
