Da -- Literate, poignant adaptation by Hugh Leonard of his own play and novel about a middle-aged playwright (Martin Sheen) who returns to Ireland to bury his dad (Barnard Hughes) and make peace with his ghost. Director Matt Clark gets outstanding performances from the two leads which helps overcome some confusing flashbacks and jolting sequence featuring the attempted drowning of a pet dog. Some profanity. (A-II) (PG) 1988
