The Dowry
In 1946 rural Ireland, Brideen Conway lusts after Kieran McDermot but the couple can't afford to marry. Meanwhile, wealthy publican Austin Glynn is offering a substantial dowry for any suitable mate for his homely daughter, Aideen. Plots and counterplots make for a swift-paced comedy of rural manners.
