...tenor sings an old air, The Lass of Aughrim. This puts Gretta Conroy (Anjelica Huston) in a pensive mood: a delicate young man she once loved, and who hastened his death by courting her, used to sing it.

Because of the fragile state of Huston's health, insurance companies would underwrite the film only on the condition that his friend Director Karel Reisz stand by.
