Song o' My Heart

The great Irish tenor John McCormack made his talking picture debut in this sentimental drama about a once famous concert singer, disappointed in love, who retires to his native village in the Irish countryside. The unexpected return of his former sweetheart (Alice Joyce) and her two children (Tommy Clifford and Maureen O'Sullivan in her American film debut) inspires him to resume his career. Song o' My Heart was released as a talkie in English-speaking countries, while a special version with additional songs and silent intertitles instead of spoken dialogue was prepared for international release. We will screen the talking version in its entirety, followed by excerpts from the international version.
