Desc: Guests of the Nation: Directed by John J. Desmond. With Frank Converse, Richard Cottrell, Charlie Stavola, Nesbitt Blaisdell. Irish insurgents guard their British prisoners-of-war in a remote farmstead. Gradually the opposing soldiers come to respect, even like each other. This greatly worries Frank Callahan, the Irish leader, because his prisoners may have to be killed in reprisal if the British execute two IRA soldiers as they threaten.
