The Dawn (1936)
Good memories

Wonderful to find this site with information about The Dawn. I was brought up in Killarney and watched this movie with pride in Thomas Coopers "picture hall" The Casino. My father Paddy Looney acted in it and had a speaking roll. I knew some of the other actors from around the town. I did not know until about 15 years ago that The Dawn was the first movie made in Ireland to have sound. The rights were sold to RTE (the national broadcasting station) and when "The Troubles" started in Northern Ireland in 1969 they stopped showing the movie. I have been told that one of the reasons for this is because the last line of the movie is "The fight must go on" Ironically I have a taped copy of The Dawn from the BBC.
