    Mills and Boon Blarney

    This fascinatingly awful film begins ominously with a village square full of singing villagers obviously shot on a soundstage. Fortunately I correctly anticipated that it was to turn out be a stage production in front of an audience; but when leading lady Dinah Sheridan arrived back in the Old Country with new husband John Bentley it turns out to look just as unreal and studio bound.

    Irene Handl and Moore Marriott are in it, but along with Tamara Desni's elegant Other Woman tend to take a back seat to the boringly melodramatic central narrative (although Marriott does get to sing, unfortunately), until things are wrapped up very suddenly and very violently.

    (The biggest surprise that the film offers is that if Bob Arden, the actor playing soulful young gypsy Daniel seems familiar, as Robert Arden he later played the hero Guy Van Stratten in Orson Welles' 'Confidential Report'.)

    Wonderful but little-known film

    I agree with sharonjudithlee that this is a wonderful film, and it is unfortunate that it is virtually unknown. I loved the ethnic music, the charming Irish homes, and the scenery. I also found the plot unique since it revolves around a jilted woman who tries to blackmail her former lover after he has married someone else.

    I was especially impressed by the acting of Brendan Clegg, a British child actor who reminds me so much of Tommy Rettig. Unfortunately, the biography section of imdb has no real information on him, except that he had roles in one other motion picture. I found the child's portrayal very innocent, clever, and endearing, and it is a shame his acting career did not continue as it should have.

    I also was glad to see Wilfrid Brambell, who portrayed Paul McCartney's grandfather in "A Hard Day's Night."

    I plan to watch the film again to fix key elements in my mind. I believe it truly should have become classic, and I hope it will be remastered to improve the clarity of the production and to gain a following among today's motion picture fans. I really love everything about it.

    Eileen Hannay character in looks, compassion, reminded me of my Derry mother, her brothers& her Donegal relatives but crazy accents, near parody of Irishness

    Only saw 10 mins of this. The 20 yr old Eileen Hannay, star of film, reminded me., in beautiful looks, compassion and sharpness of mind, of my mother who at that exact age, 20, would have been in Donegal constantly visiting relatives from her Derry home. This was 2 years before she met my father, who came here as a sailor from outside of Ireland. Eileens very young brother Patrick , 7 reminded me of my mothers brother, Patrick, who was also 7 in 1947, when they were all living in great poverty, and went on to become a great Priest. I was particularly charmed by the warm relationship between "older sister" Eileen, 20, and very young brother, Patrick, 7. And Gypsy Daniel, ~ 19, was a passable similarity to my other uncle, then also about 19, in 1947. But there was not a single Donegal accent in the film, and only half the cast had even a remotely Irish Accent . And no, no-one in Ireland EVER says "Top of the morning to ya". Nevertheless. Like all films , this 1947 film is of its time, hence is a priceless portrayal of what the establishment wanted to portray of their culture at that time, I will watch the full film of Talking Pictures ever screens it again or i get a chance to see it elsewhere. Time ( it being 4.30am) prevented me from seeing the full film this time.

    A hackneyed plot with a touch of blarney.

    Eileen Hannay (Dinah Sheridan) is the singing star of an Irish operatic society but gives up to marry Terry O'Keefe (John Bentley) who, we soon discover, is something of a ne'er-do-well. Unbeknown to Eileen, Terry had been involved with Carole Wells, another singer in the society who had loaned him some money. Peeved at him now marrying Eileen she tells him to pay up, take up again with her or suffer the consequences. Meanwhile Terry and Eileen return to her late parent's run down estate in Donegal to start married life but thanks to Terry's intolerance of the local Romany's (Eileen's mother was a gypsy), his fondness for drink and pressure from Carole, things start to fall apart.

    I could best describe this film as a very modest drama-cum-musical with a dollop of schmaltz here and there, particularly in scenes featuring the boy Paddy. In other words the hackneyed plot has a bit of everything in it yet probably appealed to a 1940s audience. With an operatic society and gypsy encampment featured, there are excuses for musical interludes of an Irish flavour but they don't blend in well with the action, rather they appear to be there just to prolong the film.

    This was John Bentley's first film and he went on to become a stalwart of many a British second feature films particularly in the 1950s and often on the side of the law so it's unusual to see him play the 'baddie'. Dinah Sheridan was already a veteran of some dozen films by this time and she gives a competent if unspectacular performance but she does look lovely. We do, thankfully get some light relief in the form of Moore Marriot who seems to be reprising his popular character Harbottle from the Will Hay films albeit with an Irish accent.

    All in all, a film of its time with curiosity value only.

    A bit of old Irish

    Dinah Sheridan stars in this bit of Irish whimsy.Supposedly playing an Irish woman,she lets her accent slip most of the time.It is a great surprise to see John Bentley as a villain,bearing in mind that he spent most of his career playing a detective and getting the girl in the last reel.Moore Mariott is his usual self in his fourth film of 1947.He made none the following year and 2 in 1949,the year of his death.Irene Handel appears in a small role before she became comedy character actress in the fifties.This looks to be a very cheap production,which is little surprise bearing in mind that this is a Butchers Film.The film is very disjointed due to the many musical interludes which include opera,gypsy music and an Irish jig.

      Only a few supporting cast and the bands are actually Irish. The lead parts mainly speak received pronunciation or stage Irish. Nice parts for Irene Handel and Moore Marriott.
