"It's one of the most underrated, but one of the most beautiful epics that ever put on screen. It's directed by David Lean, who made 'The Bridge on the River Kwai', 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'Doctor Zhivago' .
"World War I seems far away from Ireland's Dingle peninsula when Rosy Ryan Shaughnessy goes horseback riding on the beach with the young English officer."

G'day Sunshine,
Thanks for the question.
It is indeed Ryan's Daughter. Ryan's Daughter is David Lean's 1970 film which tells the story of an Irish girl who has an affair with a British soldier during World War I, despite opposition from her nationalist neighbours.
The film received a very hostile reception by the critical community upon its initial release, feeling that the characters were "dwarfed by [Lean's] excessive scale." Many attribute the bad reviews to critics expectation's being too high as Lean had directed three epic blockbusters in a row prior to making Ryan's Daughter. The bad reaction to this film is what many say caused Lean not to make a film for more than ten years. The film was moderately successful worldwide at the box office.
Nevertheless, the film enjoyed some success on Oscar night.
* Best Actor in a Supporting Role (John Mills)
* Best Cinematography
Also Nominated for
* Best Actress in a Leading Role (Sarah Miles)
* Best Sound
John Mills played a mute in the film. For his Oscar acceptance speech, he bowed without saying a word, making this the shortest acceptance speech on record.
It was also successful at the box office making twice what it cost to make.
I enclose some sources for your reference.
Regards
