Strumpet City (1980)
Probably the best TV production ever by the Irish national broadcaster RTE, this miniseries about life in the Dublin tenements in the years before the Easter Rising of 1916, is an adaption of James Plunkett's novel, starring many of Ireland's finest actors: Donal McCann, David Kelly as the unforgettable tramp 'Rashers', Peter O'Toole as the charismatic Union leader Jim Larkin, and Peter Ustinov as King Edward II.
