Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "This film is to be recommended for its unaffected humour and charming simplicity. The leading actors are given strong support by the Abbey Players, whose timing is excellent and verve unfailing. Tim Seely, slightly miscast, does not quite seem to have found the right mood for the wayward young rebel, but Julie Harris gives a simple and direct performance which has the right rustic gaiety and energetic humour. It is Harry Brogan, however, as the wily old poacher, who steals the picture and whose playing helps to conceal some weaknesses in direction and screenplay." [5]

Variety wrote: "Irish film comedy is in a specialized class, either leaving an audience cold or in raptures. With the Dublin Abbey Players on parade, Sally's Irish Rogue has an authenticity which makes its naivete and whimsey quute disarming. It emerges as a pleasant, modest joke which creates plenty of happy-go-lucky yocks and should prove a useful dualer for most houses." [6]
