A poster that really captures the movie's soul! This is a genuine UK quad for "The Commitments," Alan Parker's superb musical comedy rightly regarded as one of the best Irish films ever made.

Check out my latest book review. Another wonderful read by #roddydoyle #TheWomenBehindTheDoor books.beledit.com/the-women-be...
Met Roddy Doyle yesterday! A friend said it, and I agree, he's a James Joyce for our generation. If I'm honest, I prefer his generous, warm, smiling, crying, simple, serious work. A nice man, a great privilege. Signed copies of his latest from www.kennys.ie #roddydoyle
