Thanks fellas for the extensive review. My husband & I love this movie. I will share your post with him re much new info. The wit and turn of phrase is a loving tribute to family both mine and his. Grandmother was an Irish emigre and the street she lived on in Delaware County Pa was full of them. Ha! I was 20, married, working in Princeton NJ and still asking co workers “what parish they were from”. That was the first time it dawned on me that the whole world wasn’t Irish! And you can’t imagine the ‘‘tis herself” acclamations when Great Aunt Annie showed up and held court with her sister, my grandmama!

Cane across this movie when I was growing up in the suburbs of NYC. WPIX played it every St. Patrick's Day. One of my all time favorites, and I'm not even Catholic!
