This Other Eden is a 1959 Irish comedy drama film directed by Muriel Box and starring Audrey Dalton, Leslie Phillips and Niall MacGinnis.[1]
The film's prologue involves the death of an Irish commandant during the Irish War of Independence, who is shot by the Black and Tans. The film then skips forward a few decades, to the unveiling of a statue commemorating the war hero. When an Englishman arrives to settle in Ireland, the locals distrust him and soon blame him for the statue's destruction.
