A shame, but quite a good ensemble cast of British stage actors just can't inject anything to alleviate the ennui created after about ten minutes of this rather unremarkable melodrama. Dinah Sheridan is a successful chanteuse who inherits a ramshackle estate in Ireland - which her husband John Bentley (who has quite a bit of debt) wants her to sell. She doesn't want to, and soon allies with local lad James Etherington; much to the chagrin of her increasingly broke/jealous husband. Tamara Desni and Irene Handl co-star with some fun ceilidh music and dancing but it's all just a bit too old hat with a suitable silly ending.
