The 80-year-old woman dishing out gallons of Guiness Stout may not be the best example of her people, but generally speaking, the Irish are not only the planet's best-looking people but when they speak in that melodious lilt, you can't help wanting to listen for hours. It's no wonder that Irish-Americans predominate among the Hollywood fraternity of actors. There's a danger that all this loveliness could distract you from the story of John Irvin's "The Boys and Girl from County Clare," but then again even if the pretty cailin (colleen) and gentlemen in this movie don't take your mind from the tale, the music just might. "The Boys and Girl from Country Clare" is a comedy-drama- musical, a triple play that works in every respect. The film is heartwarming, uplifting, and the gorgeous sounds of Ceili (KAY lee) music will have your spirits soaring. "County Clare" possesses the whimsy of Kirk Jones's "Waking Ned Devine," an awfully slight comedy about a tiny Irish village turned asunder when one of its aged residents wins the lottery, and works its spell on the audience in much the style that benefitted John Sayles's "The Secret of Roan Irish," about a girl sent to live with her grandparents on the west coast of Ireland who discovers the myths and magic that have affected her family. (The three films were all produced by Ellen Little.)
