Movie #3255 "As Luck Would Have It" (Hallmark) Not another festival one, right? I only watched this one because a Downton Abbey guy (the Irish hubby of Sybil) was the male lead. It didn't help the story much --- he wasn't given much to do --- very laid back, trying to convince her to stay and buy into the idea of trying to keep a historical building as is, instead of siding with her boss to buy it and turn it into a resort; I usually dodge that kind of story. Stage business was just prepping for the festival but it took place in a small village in Ireland, and Ireland was gorgeous! 3 out of 5.

* in IMDB it says that this was filmed at Howth Castle which in real life is being bought by an American company and being turned into a hotel as proposed in this film. It is reported as being one of the "longest continuously-inhabited private homes in Europe." The castle's Gate Tower and Keep are from the 15th century, and the estate also includes much of the Howth Cliff Walks. Well, that piece of info makes the film more interesting....
