More
misty-eyed nostalgia for old Oireland as Cruise
and Kidman
emigrate to the New World.
The Irish coastal scenes used the Dingle
Peninsula, where, as for Ryanís
Daughter a village was built specially for
the movie. The country estate, where poor country lad
Cruise falls for the daughter of the landowner, is Killruddery
House and Gardens, near Bray
just south of Dublin.
Seat of the Earl of Meath, the
house is still there (its fiery destruction was computer
generated). Cruise and Kidman flee to the US, but filming
continues in Ireland.
Their arrival in turn-of-the-century 'Boston' was filmed
on Market Street,
behind the Guinness Brewery in Dublin.
The bustling street scenes, with the brothel where Cruise
stays, is Temple Lane,
near the Haípenny Bridge. Molly Kayís brothel, Cruiseís
lodging, was built on a vacant lot between a pub and
a pizza parlour.

And although the 'Oklahoma Land Rush' really is in the US,
the spectacular land-grab was shot just outside Billings,
Montana.
