| On New Year's Day 1753 an eighteen-year-old London maidservant called Elizabeth Canning was abducted in the City by two ruffians. |
| For all the respectable clothes they wore, they had the looks of ruffians about them. |
| They were tired of ruffians trying to loot the place for finger-licking baked potato skins. |
| They used to say soccer is a gentleman's game played by ruffians and rugby is a ruffian's game played by gentlemen. |
| The ruffians wore goatskin hats, gritty cloaks, and leggings of leather, all diffusing the odor of a hundred bathless nights and days. |
| This first feature filmed in Irish follows the tale of an aging producer of poitin and the two young ruffians who rob him. |
