NOTES

"This disc is expected to play back in DVD video Play Only devices and may not play back in other DVD devices, including records and PC drives."--Container

The scene is Dublin, 1922. Gypo Nolan stumbles through a foggy Irish night, his brain pickled in whiskey and his soul tormented by shame and fear. Gypo is an informer, a turncoat who betrayed his friend to the British police for 20 pounds. Now he can't spend the money fast enough, nor can he run from his treachery fast enough as he brawls, brags, swaggers and lies his way toward his fate

From the story by Liam O'Flaherty

Originally produced as a motion picture in 1935
