“American Steven Fitzgerald doesnu0026#39;t believe in any of the lore he hears when visiting Ireland. But he knows a pretty lass when he sees one and becomes immediately smitten with sweet, innocent, gullible Nora (Anne Baxter) who believes in faith, family, leprechauns and God knows what else. But then thereu0026#39;s that beautiful dame in New York– sophisticated, smart and, did I mention, the bossu0026#39;s daughter. Whatu0026#39;s a fellow to do? Thereu0026#39;s also a sweet irascible, white haired fellow who keeps following Steven and who thinks heu0026#39;s a leprechaun.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLighthearted basic plot has serious notes of ethics and judgment. Should Steven reach for the golden ring of corporate accomplishment or be true to his mind and heart, and follow his love to Ireland?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd should we all put a Banshee on whoever is keeping this movie out of print on DVD.”
