John Ford based his 1935 film The Informer, starring Victor McLaglen, on Liam O’Flaherty’s 1925 novel of the same title. The film won four Academy Awards, including Best Director (Ford) and Best Actor (McLaglen), and has long been considered a classic motion picture.

Pat McCarthy, Chair of the English department at the University of Miami and Editor of the James Joyce Literary Supplement, will discuss the transformation of Flaherty’s novel into Ford’s movie, and thei portrayals of Irish political conflict in the 1920s.
All Celtic Cultural Series events are free and open to all. Ample parking is available on Miracle Mile and in the City Parking Garage behind John Martin’s, accessible from Aragon Avenue.
