The scene was in the short story not the film. Thanks though anyway. Great short story, film and pub for that matter. All the best.

Anjelica Huston has never been given her rightful acclaim - she is one of the great actresses.

Thank you for posting this lovely clip. I love this movie. I have watched it innumerable times. Miss Huston was able to capture the look which I suppose all of us are incapable of hiding upon unexpectedly hearing a song or name whose very memory renders us incapable of movement. I believe we all have our Michael Fureys, do we not?

I remember when I saw this film in a theatre and I thought it was a bit of a slog until this scene--Gretta was so transfigured by the song and her reminiscence that her reaction lit everything before and everything afterwards. Anjelica Huston's performance was one of genius; I cannot conceive of a better tribute to her father than this collaboration. What a gift.

She succumbs in this scene but resists in the earlier dinner table scene when the subject of favorite tenors comes up (the sequence ends with the camera on Gretta being interupted by a server announcing that the dessert is prepared).

Dear friend,

Thank you very much once again!
I agree with you; I would like the lyrics here be true to the song as much as possible. Since I do not really speak the language, I can hardly tell what's being sung, therefore I take your word for it.

Very best regards,
Wendy
