The four upstanding sons of the Phelan family two farmers, a schoolteacher, and a priest are torn between nonviolent protest and bloody revolt when the injustices of the landholding system and the onset of the potato blight combine to devastate their community. Though his predecessor was murdered, the new land manager, Captain Townsend (Michael Kitchen), upholds the law while appealing to the absentee landowner for reasonable accommodation for the suffering tenants. Three of the Phelan sons try to work with Captain Townsend, but one takes the law into his own hands, setting off a chain of events that tests the brothers love for their country and each other. RECOMMENDED FOR MATURE AUDIENCES. Review: DARK - Until viewing this superb albeit very dark and bloody BBC presentation of "Hanging Gale", I had NO idea of the plight of the Irish in the mid-1800s. This presentation dwells primarily on the struggles of the Phelan family and mainly about the four brothers as played wonderfully by real life brothers, Paul, Stephen, Joe and Mark McGann--who are very rugged and very handsome; with one brother being a rather emtionally torn priest and all of them prone to violence and not above committing murder. The brothers are trying to deal with the devastation of poverty, starvation, crop failure, etc. (along with some of the dreariest weather that I've ever seen on film) that is happening to their family and friends and, of course, that meant dealing with Captain Townsend as played greatly by Michael Kitchen who is a rather "mild-mannered" agent for the absent and without a clue land owner. This 2 disc (two episodes on each disc) mini-series is greatly acted and directed. I certainly now have more knowledge and understanding of what happened to the Irish during the time being depicted. Be advised that this is no cushy "Hallmark" presentation. It is a very harsh and realistic presentation that never lets up from its depiction of some very grim times. If you love good drama that will leave you weak in the knees from emotional exhaustion, buy these DVDs. Review: Accurate history with excellent actors delivering a good script with professional performances. - Not a high action, high drama film. But as performed by the four McGann brothers who starred in this work, the story line was realistic and the dramatic moments were believable as opposed to Hollywood surreal. The part played by Michael Kitchen was balanced in tone & emotion & delivered with an even level of sympathy for the tenant farmers but steadfast loyalty to the absentee, landed gentry. A very entertainlng work. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00SDAMATI | | Best Sellers Rank | #142,715 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #21,559 in Drama DVDs | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (106) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Package Dimensions | 7.1 x 5.42 x 0.58 inches; 2.88 ounces | | Studio | Alliance Entertainment | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** HANGING GALE - **Language:** English - **Manufacturer:** Alliance Entertainment - **UPC:** 066805312014 ## Images ![The Hanging Gale - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Wsospps4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DARK *by A***R on September 17, 2007* Until viewing this superb albeit very dark and bloody BBC presentation of "Hanging Gale", I had NO idea of the plight of the Irish in the mid-1800s.
