I have never seen this movie before but I have heard of Marion Davies. I decided to give it a watch and I must admit I enjoyed it. I liked the lively Irish singing and dancing. To me the movie really highlighted the differences between the earthy Irish and the snotty English. I thought Marion Davies was pleasant surprise as Peg O'Connell although I did feel see was a wee bit old for the part (36). Michael the dog was pretty cool and J. Farrell McDonald was heartwarming as the old fisherman father. I also enjoyed how the English came across as cold- blooded and hypocritical. Obviously the film studio was relying heavily upon Hollywood stereotypes that would appeal to the Irish-American urban audience that this film was intended for in the first place.
