Cowboys and Angels
- Rating:
- Director: David Gleeson
- Starring: Allen Leech
- Details: Ire / 90 mins (15s).
Set in Limerick, Cowboys and Angels is a comedy of manners centering on a pair of new flat-mates: shy civil servant Legge and camp extrovert Shiels. The comedy derives from each one borrowing from the other's way of life, with Frank Kelly and David Murray adding some knowing craft.
