Wiki.
This Other Eden is a 1959 Irish comedy drama film directed by Muriel Box and starring Audrey Dalton, Leslie Phillips and Niall MacGinnis.
The film's prologue involves the death of an Irish commandant during the Irish War of Independence, who is shot by the Black and Tans. The film then skips forward a few decades, to the unveiling of a statue commemorating the war hero. When an Englishman arrives to settle in Ireland, the locals distrust him and soon blame him for the statue's destruction.
