Product Description

Abie's Irish Rose (1946)

Director:

 A. Edward Sutherland

Writers:

 Anne Nichols (play), Anne Nichols (screenplay)

Stars:

 Joanne Dru, Richard Norris, Michael Chekhov 
 
Abie's Irish Rose, the surprise hit of the 1922-23 Broadway season, was old-fashioned when it was first filmed in 1928, and this 1946 remake, though updated by playwright Anne Nichols, was even more anachronistic. It's the story of what happens when Jewish-American Abie Levy (Richard Norris) marries Irish-Catholic Rosemary Murphy (Joanne Dru, in her film debut). At first, Abie and Rosemary try to hide their ethnic differences from their feuding fathers Solomon Levy (Michael Chekhov) and Patrick Murphy (J. M. Kerrigan). When the truth comes out, the couple attempts to molify their families by going through three wedding ceremonies: Jewish, Catholic and Protestant. But the Cohens and the Murphys are reconciled only when Rosemary has a baby. Produced by Bing Crosby, Abie's Irish Rose was a terrific flop when first released, which may be one of the reasons why director Eddie Sutherland never again worked in Hollywood.

  1. very happy 5 Star Review

    Posted by on Mar 25th 2026

    I am rewarded for searching for the movie my friend is in as a baby in 1946. She is thrilled to have this, as had never been able to see the movie. A treasured film with good language, true emotions of beliefs at the time, and outstanding acting. Thank you so much. Her name is Deborah as the baby in the movie.
