British distributors 101 Films will release on Blu-ray Gillies MacKinnon's film
The Playboys (1992), starring Albert Finney, Aidan Quinn, Robin Wright, Milo O'Shea, Ian McElhinney, and Niamh Cusack. The release will be available for purchase on January 2.
Bursting with all the fiery elements that make great love stories memorable, The Playboys is "a beautiful, moving and gripping film" (The Hollywood Reporter). Boasting "excellent performances" (Variety) by Albert Finney, Aidan Quinn and Robin Wright, this "lovely and enveloping film weaves magic" (The New York Times)!
Tara (Wright), the most irresistible woman in a small Irish village, is also the most scorned, when she refuses to reveal the identity of her baby's father. Under pressure by Constable Hegarty (Finney) to accept his hand in marriage, Tara rejects his proposal and falls instead for a dashing actor (Quinn). But as their affair heats up, a jealous Hegarty threatens to expose Tara's secret... and destroy the only happiness she's ever known.
