Quackser Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx (1970), written by Gabriel Walsh, directed by Waris Hussein, starring Gene Wilder (Willy Wonka) and Margot Kidder (Superman), along with a plethora of well-known Irish stars of the time.
Join us to watch a quirky tale of a ne’er-do-well horse dung collector in Dublin, selling his ‘wares’ to flower gardens, a career disapproved of by his parents. Finding love after a chance encounter with an American tourist, life is good ... for a while. However, his love decides to return to America and Dublin city introduces a general ban on horse traffic. Quackser’s unique way of coping with life's travails, with the ‘help’ of his colourful local community, makes this an enjoyable and unpredictable film, in a very Irish context.
