Secouez la main du diable (1959)
En 1921 à Dublin, l'IRA lutte contre les «Black & Tans», forces spéciales britanniques qui se livrent à des mesures sévères. L'étudiant en médecine irlando-américain Kerry O'Shea espère rester à l'écart, mais sauver un ami blessé le met hors la loi, et inexorablement attiré dans l'organisation rebelle ... sous son ancien professeur Sean Lenihan, qui a "serré la main du diable" et commencé à penser au combat comme une fin en soi. Des complications surviennent lorsque Kerry tombe amoureux d'un bel otage anglais, et que les Britanniques offrent un traité de paix qui ne suffit pas à satisfaire Lenihan.
