Theatrical Release Information | See Details About All Versions
In the fifth episode of the "Honeymooners Trip to Europe," the vacationing Kramdens and Nortons have arrived in the little Irish village of Dunnelin, Ireland, at one time the home of Ralph's ancestor Patrick Kramden. Because of Patrick's long-ago indiscretions, a curse hangs heavily upon the village. The only way the curse can be broken is if Ralph spends the night in Kramden Castle, which is said to be haunted by the ghost of Patrick's great rival Shamus O'Toole. After several terrifying experiences, Ralph and his pal Ed Norton discover that the "ghost" is actually the head of a counterfeit sweepstakes-ticket ring! The songs, by Lyn Duddy and Jerry Bresler, include &A Brave and Courageous Man," "We'll Be Waiting Right Here," and "Hurrah for the Irish." Sheila MacRae and Jane Kean are seen as Alice and Trixie this time out. A full-color remake of a Honeymooners sketch that originally aired live on March 2, 1957, "The Curse of the Kramdens" was telecast October 29, 1966, as an episode of The Jackie Gleason Show. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
