Young Cassidy (1965) is a biographical drama that chronicles the formative years of renowned playwright Sean O'Casey. The film delves into O'Casey's humble beginnings in the impoverished streets of 1910s Dublin, tracing his ascent to the triumphant premieres of his initial theatrical works. The story revolves around Johnny Cassidy (Rod Taylor), a young man with lofty aspirations but burdened by the responsibility of supporting his family. Throughout the narrative, Johnny navigates the social inequities of Dublin, becoming entangled in the tumultuous tramway-men strike and forming a complex relationship with the enigmatic prostitute Daisy Battles (Julie Christie). His journey is marked by a relentless pursuit of a better life amidst the challenges of his environment.
