Title A name given to the resource Irish actor Eamon Morrissey with Olive Burke Subject The topic of the resource Cork Film Festival, Eamon Morrissey, Olive Burke, Niall Tóibín Description An account of the resource This is a black and white photo of the Irish actor Eamon Morrissey in conversation with a festival attendee. The flash of the camera lights up his animated face as he turns towards his dark-haired companion, identified at the back of the photo as Olive Burke. Dublin-born Eamon Morrissey (1943-) is a stage and television actor. He left school early and went to London where he acted in Brian Friel’s Philadelphia, Here I Come! in the 1964 world première. Morrissey is known for his comic roles and won an Irish television Jacob’s Award in 1977 for his performances in Frank Hall’s long-running satirical TV series, Hall’s Pictorial Weekly starring Frank Duggan and Michael Twomey. Twomey also came to the Cork Film Festival on a number of occasions in the seventies. Morrissey has appeared in Father Ted and the RTÉ soap opera Fair City. His work in Fair City was recognised by the annual Irish Film and Television Awards (IFTA) who nominated him for Best Supporting Actor in 2011.

The small group are arriving into the marble lobby of the Imperial Hotel on the South Mall in Cork. Kelly, on the right next to Dermot Breen, is wearing a tweed jacket and tie, with light-coloured trousers and two-tone brogues. Born in Dublin, Kelly (1929-2012) was an Irish actor with a recognisable presence on the Irish stage and screen. His notable work includes Strumpet City (RTÉ, 1980), Into the West (Mike Newell, 1992), Waking Ned (Kirk Jones, 1998), and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Tim Burton, 2005). Into the West was shown at the 2019 festival and is also preserved in the IFI Irish Film Archive. Kelly had an uncredited role in The McKenzie Break (Lamont Johnson, 1970) which starred Brian Keith and the Irish actor Mary Larkin who came to the Cork festival in 1980. Around the time of this picture, which is dated 1974, Kelly would play the inept builder in an episode of Fawlty Towers ('The Builders', 1975) which won him great acclaim. In an Irish Examiner article by John Daly looking back at the film festival, David Kelly is quoted recalling the train journey from Dublin to Cork: "Irish hospitality was at its finest on that train, an elegant Orient Express atmosphere wrapped in a thoroughly Celtic welcome that made strangers who got on in Dublin lifelong friends by the time it arrived in Cork. Revelry and romance are the two words that come mostly to mind when I recall the journey." (Irish Examiner, 04.11.2017.)

Title A name given to the resource German actor Ferdy Mayne with Michael Twomey Subject The topic of the resource Cork Film Festival, Ferdy Mayne, Michael Twomey Description An account of the resource <ol start="346"></ol> This is a black and white photo of the German-born actor Ferdy Mayne on stage with the Irish actor Michael Twomey.  Mayne on the left of this photo, with his distinctive dark eye brows, is speaking into the microphone while Twomey looks on, papers in hand. Born in Cork, Michael Twomey (1933-2017) grew up on the Mardyke and attended the Presentation Brothers College. Twomey will be remembered in Cork, and beyond, for his two-hander Cha and Miah with his friend Frank Duggan on the RTÉ television show Hall’s Pictorial Weekly. His other stage work included work with the playwright John B Keane for whom he played in many of his productions, including Many Young Men of Twenty, The Year of the Hiker and Sharon’s Grave. He gave his last stage performance as in 2015 two years before his death. In 2013, along with Frank Duggan and Billa O’Connell, Twomey was awarded the Freedom of Cork City for his “unwavering lifetime contribution to professional and amateur theatre, arts, drama and song.” (The Irish Times, 09.09.2017) The actor Ferdinand ‘Ferdy’ Mayne, was born in Germany in 1916. Being a Jew, he was sent to England from Germany as a child to stay with his aunt and later attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and the Old Vic School. A fluent German speaker he was in demand for propaganda broadcasts during the Second World War and supposedly operated as an informant for the M15. Mayne had a prolific film and theatre career. His stage work includes the role of Max in the long-running Rodgers and Hammerstein production The Sound of Music. Mayne would later achieve international recognition for his various portrayals of suave criminals, Nazi officers, or Hammer horror roles including head vampire in The Fearless Vampire Killers (Roman Polanski, 1967) starring Sharon Tate, Where Eagles Dare (Brian G Hutton, 1968), and The Vampire Lovers (Roy Ward Baker, 1970) starring Kate O’Hara and Dawn Addams (who was a regular visitor to Cork in the early days of the film festival with her then-husband Prince Vittorio Massimo). Mayne later featured in Trip to Vienna (Edgar Reitz, 1973) with Hannelore Elsner, who was in Cork too around the same time as this photo, and he also worked with Kubrick in Barry Lyndon (Stanley Kubrick, 1975).  In his later years Mayne worked mainly in Europe where he was a favourite with German audiences, and lived in America, working until the late 1990s. His final film role was as General Karl von Weber in the neo-Nazi political thriller The Killers Within (Paul Leder, 1995) before he returned to England, where he died in 1998 following the onset of Parkinson’s Disease.

Towb, on the left, is looking down at his left wrist as if checking the time. The taller Twomey stands on the right, papers in hand, looking forward speaking into the microphone. Harry Towb (1925-2009) was a popular actor from Northern Ireland who was familiar on both screen and stage. He began his acting career travelling with theatrical groups on both sides of the border and following a move to London in the early 1950s his presence on the British stage was cemented. His work at the National Theatre was highly regarded including parts in Neil Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs (1986), Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (1996), and Nikolai Erdman’s Russian comedy The Mandate (2004). While his filmography is small but rich, it was his television work that brought his distinctive features to the television screens on a regular basis with credits including Dixon of Dock Green, Z Cars, Doctor Who, Holby City, and in 2008 - just a year before his death - EastEnders. Standing next to Towb in this image is the Cork-born actor, Michael Twomey, who was born in 1933. Twomey grew up on the Mardyke and attended the Presentation Brothers College before working in insurance, as did his friend and colleague Frank Duggan. Twomey worked with the playwright John B Keane, and acted in many of his productions including Many Young Men of Twenty, The Year of the Hiker' and Sharon’s Grave. Yet it was for his acting in the two-hander Cha and Miah, with Frank Duggan, that Twomey will be remembered. Wearing an old mac and scarf, Twomey would play Miah, with his friend Duggan in the part of Cha, and they would shoot the breeze about the politics of the day on the RTÉ television show Hall’s Pictorial Weekly. In 2013, along with Frank Duggan and Billa O’Connell, Twomey was awarded the Freedom of Cork City for his “unwavering lifetime contribution to professional and amateur theatre, arts, drama and song.” (The Irish Times, 09.09.2017) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource University College Cork, Cork Film Festival, Finbarr O'Connell Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource ©Finbarr O’Connell.
