Cast: Rodney Malcolmson, Jimmy O'Dea, Noel Purcell

Blarney made in 1938 is part satire of the partitioning of Ireland and part comedy crime caper.

Set in a divided Ireland in and around the border customs post, where duty is slapped in anything.

Billy Brannigan (Jimmy O'Dea) is a travelling salesman who sells cough medicine in the border region. His suitcase is mixed up with that of a pair of English jewel thieves.

Now the jewel thieves try to get the suitcase back from him. Luckily Billy finds romance from a barmaid who watches his back.

There is also rivalry between the Garda patrolman and the RUC policeman over the love of a woman.

A whimsical story, the kind where the mantle was later taken up by Ealing Studios. This is low budget movie making in Ireland of the 1930s. It is entertaining enough with a slight plot.
