No wonder we don't know the lady's name, she's being crowded out by the two men.

I think this Michael Scott is the architect. The house he lived in is right next to the James Joyce Tower in Sandycove, and he "and his friends founded the James Joyce Museum with financial assistance from filmmaker John Huston".

A page on A.J. "Con" Levanthal finishes: Leventhal appeared unwittingly as Bloom in John Ryan’s Bloomsday film of 1954, with Brian O’Nolan (Flann O’Brien), Patrick Kavanagh, and Anthony Cronin. There was a film of the day?? And of course, it is on youtube. Ah, we have seen it before, and it is not a film with parts and a script, it is just random bits of video such as you might make with your phone while worse for wear.

O’Nolan was “unsurprisingly” drunk before the group even gathered at the home of architect Michael Scott, which remains just below the Martello Tower where the opening scenes of "Ulysses" take place.

Morning Mary, please clean your pince-nez and have a closer look. ;) That’s not a booth. That’s the carriage they’d been swanning around Dublin in (please excuse me, while I tuck away that dangling preposition).

There were two carriages in this birds-eye view, and also from the street - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000050506 catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000050374 Can anyone identify the American car behind the VW?
