Thanks, Lily!

And Lozzie has discovered:

You can see a clip  from the film, with a snippet of Gabriel’s narration, here on YouTube and the film’s official trailer is also on YouTube.

The film has its own website, naturally enough, including a sweet auld picture of The Madly Handsome Man Himself.

    I attended the screening. It’s a very interesting and often very moving film. A lot of the narration is done by the people of Butte who are featured in the film, the rest is GB.

    The director, Pamela Roberts, said that she had written to GB’s Dublin office and asked him if he was interested in participating. He called her back and said yes. Apparently, he had an uncle who had told him stories about Butte.

    According to the director, the film will be on PBS this October, and the DVD can be ordered from the website.

    Thanks for sharing. Will the movie be available on DVD? Hope so. It is also interesting to read on the homepage for Butte, America that Gabriel Byrne is “currently writing several scripts”.
    Do somebody know what he is writing about?
