Doughboys In Ireland

A shoddy story that depends on the musical interludes to keep it moving. American soldiers stationed in Northern Ireland in WW II do more singing than fighting, and the film is mainly a showcase for Baker's voice. Songs include: "Mother Machree" (Rida Johnson Young, Chauncey Olcott, Ernest R. Ball), "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" (Ball, Olcott, George Graff, Jr.), "My Wild Irish Rose" (Olcott), "All or Nothing at All" (Jack Lawrence, Arthur Altman), "I Have Faith," "I Knew, Little American Boy," "McNamara's Band" (Shamus O'Connor, John J. Stanford), "There Must Be an Easier Way to Make a Living."
