Books section.
Finnegan's Wake
(1965) No average person could guess how anyone could finish the book, never mind finish a movie version running *under* two hours. But to everyone's surprise, director Mary Ellen Bute pulled it off, and the film still enjoys a
solid rep on both sides of the Atlantic.

James Joyce's Women
Fionnula Flanagan and a cast of literary characters; from a stage work, of edited monologues.

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
(1979) Actors from the director's earlier Ulysses pop up on location again, with greater success. Joyce's novel was ably translated by Judith Rascoe.

Touring Ireland
(1991) A stop by the Joyce museum prompts a mini-biography, sprinkled with archival photos, near the end of this travel video.

Ulysses
(1967) An abbreviated tour, shot to follow in the lead character's imaginary footsteps around Dublin. Milo O'Shea is particularly effective in the bar scene. Now considered an oddity on the whole, but its tranquil tone is charming if y
ou're in the mood.
