Added DiffLines:
* KarmaHoudini: By the time the end credits roll, *none* of the antagonists (IE, the entire village minus the Priest and Ryan) face any comeuppance for their crimes against the protagonists, from spending most of the movie mocking Rosy to her face to the climax of graphically assaulting and humiliating her as an angry mob by publicly stripping her, shearing her hair off (violently-enough that she's left with bloody wounds from them), before finally jeering and mocking her as she leaves the town. The closest thing to punishment that the antagonists receive is being judged by the town priest, who spent the entire film already being judgmental to little effect.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: It's implied that this is what Ryan is doing in his final scene, where he is seen alone in his bar, [[DrowningMySorrows silently drinking strong liquor with a look of immense guilt]], after allowing his own daughter to be beaten, stripped naked, and then violently shaved by a baying mob rather than protect her by revealing the truth that it was him who tipped-off the British.

The setting is Kirrary, a fictional village on UsefulNotes/{{Ireland}}'s Dingle Peninsula, in 1917, one year after the Easter Rising. Rosy Ryan (Miles) is the daughter of local pub owner Tom Ryan ([=McKern=]). One day, she meets and falls for the local schoolmaster, Charles Shaughnessy (Mitchum).

When she meets Major Randolph Doryan (Jones), a ShellShockedVeteran of [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI the trenches]] who's arrived to take command of the local base, she falls for him and the two begin a love affair. This causes problems when some Irish revolutionaries arrive in town to acquire a shipment of arms.
