Kathleen Mavourneen (1937 film)

Kathleen Mavourneen is a 1937 BritishIrish musical drama film directed by Norman Lee and starring Sally ONeil, Tom Burke and Jack Daly. The story had been filmed several times previously, including a silent version 1919, starring Theda Bara and a previous 1930 Tiffany talkie also starring Sally ONeil. This version, also known as Kathleen, was filmed in Ireland, and features the character of Old Mother Riley who appeared in her own film series. It was shot at Welwyn Studios.

The New York Times said, An Irishmade picture it is, as flavorsome in its dialogue and occasional glimpses of country life as a horse fair in County Cork and as silly and sentimental in its story as a poor imitation of Hollywood can be. Allmovie calls the film, a fanciful bit of blarney predicated on the ballad Kathleen Mavourneen.
