    A Pipe Dreamer. He had nothing to give but himself, and of that he gave freely. This movie pulls at my heart strings and is one of my very favorites. Never get tired of watching it. The old black and whites were the best.

    This movie gives you an example of what it was like to be poor and living in a tenement house over a hundred years ago.Truly many had nothing, and to worry how to get through the next day. Such a sad existence. James Dunn's performance, is a treasure.

      Yes. Seen in Katie's frantic hammering of her coin bank, made from a tin can. The dream of love Johnny offered would not pay the rent or put food on the table; she alone had to cope with reality. It hurts to love such a man, but what can you do but love him? He gave depth and beauty to life.

      It makes me sad when I see spoiled entitled people today..they don’t know anything, they’d get nothing from this film

    When asked...what's your favorite Xmas movie...I always include this one, which is rarely shown or has been seen. . Elia Kazan...one helluva director in his first major film.

    absolutely beautiful Irish tenor. Nothing like Irish tenors. And the way it fits with the story & is enacted here, like a man grieving over love lost.

      One of my favorites too.
      Kazan's first movie and he knocked it out of the park. Beautiful, hard to not cry when watching it.

    Lyrics:
    Maxwellton braes are bonnies where early falls the dew
    And it was there that annie laurie gave me her promise true
    Gave me her promise true which n'er forgot will be
    And for bonnie annie laurie I'd lay me down and die
    Her brow is like the snowdrift ner neck is like the swan
    Her face is the fairest that e'er the sun shone on
    That e'er e'er the sun shone on and dark blue is her e'e
    And for bonnie annie laurie I'd lay me down and dee
    Like dew on the gowan lyin' is the fa' of her fairy feet
    And like winds in summer sighin' her voice is low and sweet
    Her voice is low and sweet and she's a' the worls tae me
    And for bonnie annie laurie I'd lay me down and dee
    And for bonnie annie laurie I'd lay me down and dee

    Foreshadowing for what is to happen to him, and why. The song really encapsulates their relationship in just a few lines.....pennies in the jar for insurance
