Good-natured Irish drunk Michael Noonan (Charles Winninger) is a widowed father to Nellie (Judy Garland). Her boyfriend Jerry Kelly (George Murphy) proposes. Her father does not approve since Jerry is taking her to America. Her father does not want to leave his beloved Ireland. He relents and all three emigrates.
That's an insane turn. She is the lead character. She is freaking Judy Garland. What?... A little while later. Ok! I get it. I'm not convinced that it's a good idea. I'd rather they choose a different actor for the first role. Aside from that gimmick, the story is rather straight and the drama feels strained. At least, Judy gets to do some singing.
