Darby O'Gill and the Little People

Heres just a snip bit of an old Hollywood/Irish movie revolving around the myth of Leprechauns/Little people. It started a cast of well known Irish actors and a "then" unknown Sean Connery.
A wily old codger matches wits with the king of the leprechauns and helps play matchmaker for his daughter and the strapping lad who has replaced him as caretaker.

Virtually unknown Sean Connery? Everyone knows who Sean Connery is. He's that Scottish bloke.

@Twilightfey Yes but at that stage he hadn't become as famous as he is now

People are liking this FB page so I came to check it out. I've never even heard of it before now.

I believe this must be the movie that is parodied by "Annoying Orange - Luck o' the Irish" in the episode where he meets the leprechaun, argueing over a pot of gold, too.
