If you would like to see Sean Connery (007) in his first movie role as a dashing you man, this is the movie to watch. It's set in Ireland and based on fantasy. There is only one very scary scene when the old man who is one of the main characters meets the banshee. A banshee is an evil spirit that has terrorized Irishmen for centuries. I have met an Irishman who had such an experience, so that part is not fantasy. But, offsetting that banshee (in the movie) is a friendly leprechaun that is caught unwittingly and, according to the rules, must hand over some cash to his captor. It's a light-hearted movie you will enjoy, except for that one scary scene. So, cover your children's eyes when its about to come. Just try not to think of Sean Connery as 007..

This is one of Disney's most underrated films. I used to watch it over and over as a child. I love the leprechauns, and the pooka and banshee still creep me out to this day! It's also amusing to see a young Sean Connery in a role he doesn't seem to fit all that well. He still struggles valiantly to play the part well, in spite of some weak dialogue. The music is lovely and the story well-paced. A joy to watch again after all these years.

Always a favorite, & now I own it. I love the Darby O'Gill stories; and Disney did a bang-up job making it a movie. The casting is perfect! I love Janet Munro in this - she was such a charmer. When it came out, the Headless Coachman and the Banshee scared the daylights out of me. A great film, that in its day, lost money. As did IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE & WIZARD OF OZ.

This old 1959 Disney live action film combines quaint rural Irish settings with imaginative special effects. The dance scene in the Leprechaun king's hall is stupendous, and is alone worth the price of the DVD. Who won't believe in leprachauns after watching this movie? Some of the plot regarding replacement of the old groundskeeper with a young man may be obscure for younger children, but the pace moves right along. A bonus for adults: James Bond (Sean Connery) sings to his lady love!

Saw the movie when it came out. My daughter and I were talking about it with her children and decided to try and find a copy to show them. I am looking forward to seeing there reaction. The modern viewer may find the special effects a bit lacking and the story light but it is entertaining and contains little or nothing that anyone could call offensive.
