Movie Info

When Nellie (Judy Garland) gets married to good-looking Jerry Kelly (George Murphy), her grumpy, out-of-work father Michael Noonan (Charles Winninger) disapproves and makes an oath never to talk to his son-in-law. Nevertheless, when the newlyweds move to New York City to make a new start, Noonan immigrates with them. Tragedy strikes, however, when Nellie dies in childbirth. Now the antagonistic pair of men will have to raise the newborn together despite their dislike of each other.

Judy is lovely here, perhaps looking her best ever, but the film is extremely hoky but if you love Judy its worth a viewing.
