POT O' GOLD (aka: The Golden Hour)
 

-- Synopsis: A madcap comedy that meets a classic musical. Jimmy Haskell (Stewart), the owner of a failed music shop, goes to work with his uncle C.J. Haskell, the owner of a health-food factory and a radio show called " The Haskell Happy Hour" . Before he gets there, he befriends an Irish family who happens to be his uncle's worst enemy because of their love for music and in-house band who constantly practices on the roof. Soon, Jimmy finds himself trying to help the band by getting them gigs and trying to reconcile the family with his uncle, an avid music-hater, all while winning the heart of the beautiful Molly McCorckle (Paulette Goddard).

* One scene in the movie includes sixteen Rumba-dancing couples, a twelve-piece rumba band, Horace Heidt's Thirty Musical Knights, and one hundred extras in a magnificent country club setting. Jewel McGowen also appears Swing dancing in the streets. Don't miss this song and dance extravaganza!
