Starring Martin J. Kelly, Jane Reilly, Peter Haskell, Page Johnson

Passages from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake - to give the film its full title - is the first of two film interpretations of Joyce's works.
As he lies asleep, Finnegan (also known as H.C. Earwicker and Here Comes Everybody), a Dublin publican, dreams of Finn McCool and of the wake at which his friends rouse him from the coffin with whiskey. It is a dream crammed with images from his own life and experiences.
