The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady-Actually there Were 3 **12
15 November 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Another musical teaming up Cuddles Sakal with Gene Nelson and Gordon MacRae. However, Tea for Two, was far better. Why? Sakal was given much funnier lines in the latter film and of course it had Doris Day, Eve Arden and Billy De Wolfe giving fine support.

In this 1950 film, MacRae and Nelson are reduced to actual supporting roles. The major role has got to be the Irish father, whose strict code of ethical behavior becomes the forefront of this rather childish film.

The movie, taking place after the Spanish-American War ended, is rather silly at times. Daddy doesn't know for a year that his daughter has married the typical Irish policeman and is about to have twins, or is it triplets?

The singing and dancing are rather benign here. There is really no catchy tune here. June Haver gives her all but the script really does everyone in.

As was the case with 'Tea,' you don't know who the girl will wind up with until the very end. Apparently, we needed a tea for the Rosie O'Grady clan.
