Jimmy O’Dea was the ‘archetypal Dublin comedian’ and enjoyed great success whenever he visited Northern Ireland, drawing large audiences to see his frequent performances at Belfast’s Empire Theatre. In 1941 he was one of the stars of a controversial Saint Patrick’s day broadcast jointly undertaken by the Northern Ireland Home Service and Radio Eireann. The programme was prompted by a desire to recognise the contribution made by the thousands of Irish men and women to the war effort. Irish Half Hour was a resounding success, enjoyed at home and abroad. Throughout his career, O’Dea toured constantly. He was in a number of films. First came Penny Paradise (1938) then Let’s be Famous (1939) and in Disney’s Darby O’Gill and the Little People (1959) where he was cast as the King of the Leprechauns.

It came out in 1959 or 1960 and it was the debut film for Sean Connery. One of the best Irish themed films ever. The special effects were sooooooo good.

1959. Sean Connery played Michael Mc Bride, Janet Munro played Katie, and Albert sharpe played Darby. Robert Stevenson directed it.
A little bit of unkown trivia is Walt Disney had seen Albert Sharpe in a stage production of "Finian's Rainbow" in the 1940s and kept him in mind for the role of Darby. By the time he began casting this film a decade later, Sharpe had retired. He was able to convince Sharpe to come out of retirement and paly Darby.

The movie was made in 1959, the actor was Sean Connery, and it was the only movie that he ever sang in. You might know him better as the original James Bond.
