Adapted from Charles O'Neal's 1949 book, this follows the lighthearted adventures of a late 19th Century young man named Jamie McGrew, the three wishes granted to him in a dream by a fairy queen, and the unusual way they come true. His first is for travel (he goes from Ireland to a life of horse trading in Georgia); his second, to marry the girl of his dreams; the third, a son with the gift of poetry and the ability to speak in the ancient Gaelic tongue.
The Cornish military captain, now a member of Parliament, is drawn into the war with France while his son falls in with smugglers. Historical drama, starring John Bowe and Mel Martin, and featuring a young Ioan Gruffudd in one of his earliest roles.
Veteran funnyman Frankie Howerd entertains an enthralled audience at the Playhouse Theatre in Weston-super-Mare, England.
The film followed the further adventures of Lavinia, Enfys, Glenys and Rhisiart, Delyth and Bethan following the film Ibiza! Ibiza!
