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.
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.
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

It makes me sad when I see spoiled entitled people today..they don’t know anything, they’d get nothing from this film
It's great to read that people share the same feelings about this wonderful piece of music, from a timeless film.

I love his rendition, nothing fancy, just makes your heart melt - Ireland, land of the sincere
It's a Scottish song
Scotland!
It's an Irish-American movie

It's a Scottish song
Damn, if that don't just kick me right in the heart each time I play it...
Love Jimmy Dunn!!! One of my favorite movies EVER!

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
brings tears to one's eye
Annie Laurie is beautiful
Grown men don't shed a tear do they?
Does it embarrass me?
Heck no!
I love you Johnny Nolan
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
