Sir, – Watching Ryan's Daughter in Dingle where it was filmed 45 years ago, Frank McNally's enjoyment is enhanced by knowing that the famous storm scene was real – no fakery or computer graphics then ("Look what the storm blew in", An Irishman's Diary, May 28th).
Next time he should watch it in South Africa, where David Lean had to take his crew, the Kerry weather having proved consistently awful, but unfilmable.
He will note a remarkable resemblance between Dingle Bay and Noordhoek Beach, Cape Town. – Yours, etc,
Dr JOHN DOHERTY,
