There is Trevor Howard, who makes the crustaceous Father Collins genuinely likable and credible against almost insuperable odds. In the role of Ryan's daughter Rosy, Sarah Miles is as tremulously lovely a colleen as ever graced a Kerry hillside. The elliptic, listless script is by Robert Bolt, her real-life husband, who has to his credit the literate A Man for All Seasons.
