A terrific film, a must see for history buffs!!, 28 September 1999
10/10
Author: bodhran from Ireland

The Brylcreem boys is a terrific film and is a must see for all history buffs. The events in the story are all true and give us a feel of what life was like during war-time Ireland. As an Irish person I related to the anti-war theme. This is a film that can be seen again and again,a nd enjoyed by all age groups. I highly recommend it. Ayn Madigan. London-Dublin
