My Wild Irish Rose

In this musical, Chauncey Olcott (Dennis Morgan) -- a character based on the real-life 19th-century singer-songwriter -- starts off as a minstrel show performer, but his life and career completely change when singer Lillian Russell (Andrea King) gives him a starring role in a Broadway show. Olcott's girlfriend, Rose (Arlene Dahl), gets jealous, suspecting an affair. But in spite of his relationship battles, Olcott's star rises with a series of ballads, including the title track.
