From Library Journal:
$19.95. film Rockett's survey has a dual purposeto give the history of Irish cinema and to explain the portrayal of Ireland in films from other countries. The history travels from Ireland's meager output in the early 1920s, through American domination of the marketplace, to renewed interest in both international production in Ireland and local filmmaking in the late 1950s. The discussion of Ireland as depicted in other films is divided into "images of violence" and "romanticism and realism." The work pays too much attention to obscure films and business matters and lacks a filmography, but it is one of the first large-scale accounts of its kind. Recommended for cinema collections. About half the length of Rockett's work and correspondingly less detailed, Slide's book covers the same topics and adds discussions about films based on Irish literary sources and Irish-born actors appearing in American films. Like some of Slide's other cinema books, it offers a somewhat superficial treatment. It is peppered throughout with anti-Irish statements such as "The Irish brought to the United States . . . political corruption and ardent and often repressive Roman Catholicism." Suitable for general audiences. Roy Liebman, California State Univ. Lib., Los Angeles
