The Playboys (1992) Original Rolled Poster (27x41)

The Playboys is a 1992 romantic drama directed by Gillies MacKinnon and starring Robin Wright, Aidan Quinn, and Albert Finney. Set in 1950s rural Ireland, the film follows Tara Maguire, a fiercely independent young woman who causes a scandal in her conservative village by having a child out of wedlock and refusing to name the father or marry. Her defiance draws both admiration and disapproval from the townspeople, including the local police sergeant, who is obsessed with her. When a traveling troupe of actors known as the Playboys arrives in town, Tara finds herself drawn to their free-spirited lifestyle and to one of the performers in particular. The film explores themes of personal freedom, societal judgment, and the search for love and identity against the backdrop of a tightly knit, traditional community.
