It has been a booming year for cinema – from Quentin Tarantino’s latest, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the culmination of the Avengers series, to the runaway success of The Joker, 2019 will be remembered for box office successes.

One of the Hollywood greats – sometimes referred to as the greatest ever director – was Rex Ingram.

Born in Dublin, Ingram was a silent movie era director who made a star of Valentino, and who got a Hollywood Star for himself in the process. His name is almost totally forgotten today, both in Hollywood and his native Ireland.

Gavan Reilly is joined by Donal Fallon of the Come Here To Me! blog for another episode of Hidden Histories.
