City of God DVD Irish Film A beautifully austere film set

A beautifully austere film set in 1961 Poland and shot in black & white

Two men's lives cross first at a dance performance and later at a clinic for comatose patients where one attends to his partner and the other

His loyalties come under pressure when he faces the threat of a prison sentence

Yet it also marks the first of five appearances Wayne made with actress Maureen O’Hara
