Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Treat yourself to one of the wonderful old movies that remind us of the Irish culture we all become a part of for St. Patrick’s Day even if we were not ‘born Irish”. One delightful movie is full of the Irish Brogue and is called Little Nellie Kelly. This movie is from 1940 and features Judy Garland & George Murphy. Judy sings her own version of “Singing in the rain” and” It’s a great day for the Irish”. This movie is based on George M. Coan’s Broadway play. Another wonderful movie to watch is My Wild Irish Rose from 1947 which was nominated for an Academy Award. Featuring the tenor voice of Dennis Morgan & acting of Arlene Dahl. It tells the story of Chancellor Alcott in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Not only does it have the movie title song but also the beautiful ballad, “When Irish Eyes are smiling” in it. And if you want leprechauns, dancing and song watch Finian’s Rainbow from 1968. Featuring Fred Astaire & Petula Clark it is a whimsical childlike quality. Each of these movies will put the Irish spirit in your day and the Irish jig in your walk.
