Peter McEnery in a good early role as "Red" Hugh O'Donnell, the head of the O'Donnell clan and the hope of Ireland in its war against the English. Rising to fulfill the legend that he will set Ireland free, McEnery sets out to win the other clans to band with him to stand against English dominance. McEnery rises to the energy and enthusiasm of the role, and blends well with cast members Andrew Keir, Susan Hampshire, Tom Adams. His fight sees him clashing with Gordon Jackson, who is a superb villain as the lord in charge in Dublin. Because it's Disney, it isn't bloody or over-violent. Look for a very young Maurice Roeves as Martin, the servant boy. Great fun for all.
