Synopsis
In this mock opera infused with gallows humour, Ronnie Drew and his band of bohemian merrymakers, The Dubliners, re-enact the execution ballad âThe Night Before Larry Was Stretchedâ. Larry finds himself caught in a hangmanâs noose as just reward for being âthe best burglar in all Irelandâ. Made in 1965, the film remained uncompleted and unseen until its restoration in 1998.
