If you enjoyed Jason Statham’s ultra-violent use of a hurley, you’ll love MGM’s literally wacky “Hurling” (1936), narrated by Pete Smith, scripted and directed by David Miller (who went on to direct the Marx Brothers and classic unsung 1973 JFK conspiracy movie Executive Action) and filmed in a studio back-lot with a cast made up of Irish-looking “fellas”.

Looks like Jerry Fish was due to play Danny Byrne’s in Mullingar, supported by local lads ‘Good Man Sheila’.

However, Jerry himself put a stop to this and the locals aren’t happy.  In fact, they’re so mad that their grammar circuits have fused.
