Description
Tells the story of two estranged, then reunited Irish-American brothers who search for justice on behalf of the downtrodden, for solace in the Church, and for comfort in the arms of their women -- a story memorably dramatised in 1950-60s New York. The title "Irish Eyes" refers to a bar in New York City where some of the action takes place.
