	Movies - The Brylcreem Boys

The Brylcreem Boys is a 1997 film directed and co-written by Terence Ryan about the extraordinary neutrality arrangements pertaining to Ireland during World War II, by the Éamon de Valera government.

Dublin made agreements with Berlin and London during the war that any serviceman found on Irish soil would be interned for the duration of hostilities. In practice they were interned in the same camp, at Naas. The film is a romantic comedy with a triangle formed by a Canadian pilot, a German pilot, both interned at the camp under extremely flexible arrangements, and a local woman.

The film stars Billy Campbell and Angus MacFadyen as the two pilots, Riverdance star Jean Butler as the Irish woman they fall in love with and Gabriel Byrne as the internment camp commander.
